A lot of times when we fly, we have to rent a car anyway. Once that’s factored in, driving often winds up being cheaper.
Did a ten hour drive recently. Gas for the whole trip wound up at about $300, including driving around up there. Which is close to what we paid for a car last time we had to rent, plus the gas for the rental.
