I'm not touching any complaining involved with 24 hour OGG layovers. 
A little "thank gosh RA and friends had the foresight to defer the 787" humor:

Detailed view of the electric motors of the "Electric Green Taxi System". They enable the aircraft to taxi without using its main engines. The system has been developed by Safran and Honeywell.

NW255 was lost in Detroit 26 years ago today.
Sole survivor "little Cecelia" was then raised by her aunt and uncle in Birmingham. She's 30 now, and I hope she's not in Birmingham on this anniversary.
Be safe out there guys.

Baja my last year on the 7ER was reserve and al I flew were the 10hr OGG and GUA... I hated them but then just got used to them! Especially all the guns in GUA on the streets and shady characters running around! But the food at that tree house place was good and it was cheap!!! Just wear running shoes and zig zag all the way back to the hotel!!!

Take a family of 4 and you're at $3000.
Gas from ATL-DC (647 miles) is about 22 gal each way or 44 round trip. At $3.4/gal gas (GA numbers, SC is sooo much better) is about $73 one way or $146 round trip or $36 per a family of 4 instead of $750. Or $146 vs $3000.
To T's point about time. It's a 9:30 drive. It's a 1:46 block flight. But you need to be there 1 hour early. Plus no less than 30 minutes to park. I've got a 1 hour drive there. Say 1 hour on the backside to get to downtown DC. You're at 5:15 if the flight is on time.
What are you laughing about? On time?
A few weeks ago we took a little over 9 hours to take a 1:45 minute flight from RIC-ATL. It'd been quicker to drive and we wouldn't have been dragging a 4 and 2 year old through the airport at 1am. And frankly given how that went even with our travel benefits we now as a family plan to fly to my familys and drive back. It was not worth the stress.
But that's with a family. Business traveler, different story.
