It was always a tough call for me when I went home from Berkeley. The door to door time was almost identical, including going to airport, security, and going home from the airport.

Pretty much the only time I flew was when there was just one of us and I would either need to leave or arrive during rush hour.

But I'm curious, why did you drop off your spouse and then pick her up? Why not go together? Are you really afraid of flying and she's afraid of driving? I'm just trying to imagine a scenario where it makes sense to split up like that.
