[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cheaper option is to ask a friend or family members to do drop-off or pick-up. Pay them back with a nice dinner.[/quote]

Please don’t do this. If you have enough money to fly your family to Asia for 22 days then you have enough money to pay for an Uber each way. Asking a friend or family member to drive to your house then drive from Germantown to Dulles and then back home...ostensibly twice? That’s a lot of traffic and time out of their lives.

I would Uber.[/quote]

OP here. First of all, you don’t know my situation. You don’t know that I used all the points I have ever accumulated to get an award travel ticket and that I choose to sit my child who would be almost 1.5 years old then on my lap for over 24 hours flights to Asia to save money. It’s an epic trip for us and i can assure you I’m not swimming in cash.

I also never in my post mention anything about asking friends to drive us to Dulles.

Thanks to posters who mentioned that I would need Uber XL which is pricier. I’m surprised no one mentioned anything about Supershuttle! I’m going to do a search on local hotels to see how much they charge though it would be a pain to schlep the kids, luggage, car seats through the shuttle. Ugh talking it out makes this option highly unattractive.

A lap child doesn’t change the fact that if you can afford (even using points) going to Asia, you can afford paying for a trip to the airport. And whomever said to offer a dinner is crazy. It’s equitable though if you do an even exchange and drive them to the airport. [/quote]
