[quote=Anonymous]No, I don't think this is a logical limitation to have. For one thing, emergencies where ALSO the most helpful thing for parents to do is drive for 6 hours to your kid are probably just never going to happen. For another thing, 12-14 roundtrip hours of driving in terms of gas and wear & tear on a car probably isn't much cheaper than flying. Not because flights are so affordable, but because driving is so expensive. I just compared driving to and from Atlanta vs flying on a discount airline and the flight would be cheaper anyway--in gas cost alone. (Given that college kids fly home rather than the whole family flying to a city to spend Christmas in the college town, that's surely the relevant calculation.) [/quote]
