This is why for travel in NA, I now drive anywhere within a 10 hour striking distance

Delays happen so often regardless of airline, and they string you along so you sit in the airport all day to that point that you would have arrived by car already.

For cross border flights I burn 3 hrs from my door to the cabin door with security and customs.
Even if the plane is on time I'd be half way there if I drove, and if a storm is coming I can decide at the last minute to leave early and get ahead of it.

Airport to airport one way car rentals are easy as well if you don't want to put the miles on your own vehicle ( although I've seriously been thinking of using my business travel budget to pay for a panamera instead...)
