Flying is cheaper when you’re solo, sure. For a family of 4? Flying is expensive. But the really expensive part is having to rent a car where you’re going.
For me, a ~12 hr drive to Florida for 1 week of vacation is about $400 in gas. That’s a lot more than plane tickets, until you add a $600+ car rental when you get there. Plus the flight dates have to line up with the resorts dates, which they usually don’t for cheap flights.
I hate it but driving is often the more economical option.
