I am from Nebraska and I have to drive 5 hours to the nearest major airport, spend the night, and get up at 2:30 a.m. to be able to get my 5:00 a.m. flight. I'll get into Boston at 3:30.
Can anyone beat that loooooong day?

Hey I'm from NE too, but I'm going to Chicago. It's not the farthest, but still flying and I have to leave really early in the morning to get there.

Ouch...You definitely win for most difficult process of getting to NYLF!! Were there not convenient flights out of Omaha??

Also, which session are you going to Boston??

Olivia--

My drive to Denver is only 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Omaha is about 8 to 8 1/2 hours (even though we are in the same state). Besides Denver is like the 3rd or 4th busiest airport in the U. S. so it's easy to get a nice flight. I'm going to 2nd session.

San Francisco to Chicago.

I think I'm leaving around 9AM and getting in around 3PM, with the two hours (I think) time difference.

I am traveling from Phoenix, Arizona to Washington D.C. I leave at 6 am and get in at 2 pm. The time change must be three hours or something. I am so not excited for the plane ride over. It's gonna suck.
