And if the weather is bad, or doubtful? You're SOL, whereas the people
who took a commercial flight still get there.
You're limited by the amount of gas you can carry; the size of your
bladder; and the amount of time you can spend at the controls.
Don't get me wrong. I also like to hop into my aircraft and go. But
seldom do I treat it as a realistic alternative to RPT flying.
