I am a 3 hour drive from a domicile, and I fly to another one. I gave it a try for about nine months, but it just wasn't for me. I had enough close calls in traffic and dealing with fatigue driving that I decided to quit doing it in the name of safety.
Commuting by air, while awful, does have a few minor advantages too. One of these is that if your trip gets rerouted into deadheads back to base, you can just punch out and go home via air. I had this happen a couple of times during my driving phase and had to go and retrieve my car and drive the three hours back home. Painful.
