They do. You can drive directly from door to door, so total travel
time is essentially the same as driving time.


I see. So you couldn't imagine stopping for gas, traffic lights, traffic
jams, detours, and stretch/bio breaks on a 600 mile cross country trip?

Hahah! You know, I should probably get one of those Gel Packs for the car
like I have for the plane. Especially for the road trips that involve the
kids!

You can't imagine holding patterns, weather diversions, and
less-than-straight routing?

Sure I can. What is your point? I was responding to your comment that drive
time doesn't include anything but time actually driving, which is inaccurate.
