Yep. I'd much rather drive, or take a train should one be available.

That said, if it's for work and my employer already paid for an economy seat, I'm generally okay with splurging a bit out-of-pocket for the business class / first class upgrade. If there was a seating section with first-class seats but none of the extra service I'd take that every time.

I mean this is my solution basically. Flying sucks, and I have sworn to do it as little as possible.

Same here. Good thing I live where I live.
