| Would you fly or drive? Flying is Allegient Air for $900ish total for 4 people (2 couples), plus $300ish to rent a car. Would take about 4.5 hours with the airports. Can drive for $150 total in gas (lease the car so no wear and tear) but it would take 7.5 hours. Thoughts? |

Drive.
3 extra hours to save 5-600 per couple, seems like a no brainer. Also, you can stop by Natural Bridge on the way. |

| the drive back is a better view of the beautiful mountains. |

| Drive because you'll want a car while you're there, too. |

| Drive. How is this even a question? |

| Driving with 4 people in the car is better fro the planet than flying. |

| Drive. You will need a car when you get there, so why not drive? Might be less expensive and nicer to even rent a large car than fly. It's also going to be faster than flying, once you add in airport security, etc... |

| Drive. We just did this drive to visit family and it was lovely. You can take the Blue Ridge Parkway for an even nicer view, thought it adds some time. |

This is exactly what we did. Stopped in Charlottesville on the way home. |

| We were going to drive but we canceled our 2020 trip. I would still like to reschedule. |

| You can fly direct to Greenville and then drive. That’s probably what I would do. GSP is a nice airport. It’s about 90 minutes up to Asheville I think. |

| 4.5 hrs is kind of long. It's only 45 min flight. Are you really far from the airport? But for that $$ I'd drive. We flew allegient but had a baby that needed to be nursed every 30 min .... driving would have taken forever. |

A direct flight is 1.5 hours. I'm 40 minutes from the airport, I'll need to arrive 1.5 hours early. The hotel is about 1/2 hour from the airport in Asheville, plus you have to factor getting to the rental and getting the car. That's 4.5 hours. |

| Drive, it's not that much quicker to fly with waiting times at the airport. |
