February 26-28

What weekend?

Decided to fly. Fingers crossed no snow delays. Thanks, everyone!
Now where are the best places to eat/see college scene

Native Michigander here. For that time of year, I would definitely recommend flying. Storm systems can come in quickly and you don't want to find yourself in the middle of a white out in Ohio. Just fly and make it easy on your self. In other seasons, it's perfectly fine to drive.

Flying takes ~5.5-6 hours all told including travel to the airport, car rental, and driving from Detroit to AA. I guess both options kind of suck haha but driving really isn’t that bad.

For me, in DC with a kid a U Mich, it depends. A benefit of flying is that I can usually still do a day of work (and not take a leave day) as I can work at the airport and on the plane (for my role not workable in a car with someone or, of course, while driving). If I'm driving our with my DH, though, it's a nice time for (very) long chats. So for me really depends on how best to spend the time. If driving realistically results in another hotel night or a leave day, I tend to fly.

It’s a pretty easy drive as far as 8 he dries go, mostly turnpike set the cruise control type of driving.

DC at UMich and DH family in Mich.

Our first consideration is cost. Second consideration is weather. We fly if tickets are about $200, drive if like $500. Try to avoid driving on the winter. PA Turnpike is miserable in the winter

We are also going that weekend—flying DCA to Detroit. I want everything to be as easy as possible, and an eight-hour drive each way for essentially a one-day visit sounds miserable.

Drive for sure.

Go Blue! And fly if you can!!!!
