Yeah, I can see that you wouldn't have a lot of choice, there. Still, it's not quite the same problem when you fly the shuttle between Washington and NY. And in reality, in such a situation, how much time is really being saved? Having to arrive at the airport early, going through an invasive "security" procedure, delays at takeoff, delays in landing, it's almost FASTER to drive.

If you don't have a choice, naturally you're going to have to fly. If you DO have a choice, you may be better off with an alternative means of travel.
