the nearest airport to me is 60 miles away, i suppose its an option though, the guy who works opposite me lives in spain and it will cost less and he will be home before me he books well in advance and it something like £12 for the flight !
At least might be cheaper, sit down work it all out, car verses flying, take into consideration of the following:
Car:
petrol
road tax
mot service
insurance
oil change
Traffic
tyres
Plane:
delays
cancellations
naughty air hostesses.... yep plane for me
