I once packed everything for a week in Hawaii in 1 carry on, and 1 backpack, and that included all SCUBA gear besides a tank and weight belt. With family, carry on only is no longer feasible, so the luggage fees add up quickly.
I'd say about 1/3rd of my flights go wrong enough that I'm extremely inconvenienced, lending me to want to drive even more. Zero of my drives have been wrong enough to extremely inconvenience me so far.
CO (24hrs) is about the limit of what I'm willing to drive by myself in a single push... roundtrip tickets to FloRida can fairly regularly be had for around $500 or a little more.
