I do a 2.5 hour drive to domicile. Normally weekly. I also commuted for years. I'll do the drive any day. I actually drive past my home airport to avoid commuting and just drive. I haven't checked loads in a long time. Life is much less stressful. Unless you live right next to commuting A/P and its a very short flight, odds are it'll take you 3 hours at a minimum to commute on a plane.
