Ever Fly Somewhere Just for the Day?

no mostly for a week tho this time I am hoping to go for 2 weeks!

Actually I am thinking of doing just this! I have a dear friend that is not likely to gt better and when she returns to her son's house in Miami, I plan to go for the day just to see her. I will leave JA on the first flight soi I will be in Miami by 9 am at latest and then spend the day wit her before returning to JA.I will gt a flight back by 6 pm. It is just the money that is stopping me as I am so broke now after the cruise. But I am praying that money will come from somewhere for me to go.

Can't really say so. It must feel different. I guess in the end it gets more expensive and tirening than all of the other normal and possible ways to get life done. So probably not worth it.

I've done it once. I flew to Dallas so I could visit with my uncle and aunt who lived in South Carolina at the time. I spent the day at my sister's. I flew in early in the day to wait for a repair guy to come for something in her house while she went to work. Our uncle and aunt came in mid-afternoon, my brother came in from a nearby town and we all spent the afternoon and evening together and then - I flew home. My sister lived in Arlington, Texas, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlington,_Texas my brother lived in Lewisville Texas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewisville,_Texas and I lived in Austin. It was a good day.

No, I haven't, I don't like to fly much either, in fact, I've never flew on a plane. My husband keeps telling me he's getting me on a airplane one of these days and we're going somewhere, I told him Good Luck..haha. It would be easier to just fly somewhere for the day then fly back, it would be faster than driving, but who can afford to do that these days?

No, I never tried it. I can't imagine doing it anyway. You're right, it's a waste of time and money. Also include waste of energy. You'll not enjoy going to a place if you'll just be there for some hours.

I sure wish I could do that sometimes. That would be an awfully expensive trip for just one day though. One day just does not seem to be enough time to relax and enjoy things.

Hi Shar. I'm pretty sure that I didn't, but my husband has. He flew to see his mom (it's a 9 hour drive). But as it was in the middle of the week, he had to come home so he could work the next day. Happy mylotting!

Interesting question, actually I have never flown on a plane. I really love to do it one day. My uncle usually travels for one day for business purposes. He returns home late at night or in the evening after finishing his meetings.

I don't know that I would enjoy doing it for business, but I wish I had the money to hop on a plane and fly somewhere just for dinner. Then fly back home. I always thought ti would be fun to fly to New York for dinner and a show and then back home at the end of the evening.

No, I have never flown somewhere just for the day. I do not fly unless I am going to stay at the place I am going to for at least a week. But some people have lots money to do just that and some people are in a business that has them fly once in awhile just for one day.

Yes. I did it once for a meeting conference in our company but I never think of a waste of money because it all company expense but it so tiring when you go back in the afternoon or night.

I have never flown somewhere for only one day. It would be fun to be able to do so though. I just don't have the money to do just that! It is expensive to fly! If I had the money and I was wealthy, then I would LOVE to fly somewhere for one day, and then fly back! I am not sure where I would go, but somewhere close enough where I wouldn't spend all my time flying. I love to fly, but haven't done it in years!!!

I never done it yet. I think it's tiring that you have to fly and go back from your home place just for a day.

Many, many times but only for business. Sometimes I was glad I did not have to spend the night away from home, other times I found it to be exhausting.

Just after we married, my husband got a wild notion to take me to the San Diego Zoo. We left for the airport right then, bought tickets and had a wonderful day at the zoo! We were home that night and it was a great day. That was back in 1987 when you could buy a ticket and get on a plane with no security checks and no luggage. I don't like to fly anymore, it's too much hassle and the Airbus models are crashing too much.

No, but that does sound like fun, just getting on a plane and letting somebody else take the wheel for a change. I've driven somewhere in a day, road trips are alright but I think I'd like to try the flying thing. First I have to find someplace that I can fly back from.

I have never flown anywhere period & if i keep what little sense i have left i don't intend to ever fly, lol. They were going to airlift me once to nashville & i told them i wasn't riding in a helicopter. I guess my sons told then it would not be a good idea, lol because they took me by ambulance.

Hi ya Shar19 I wouldn't fly anywhere just for one day as I live so far from the nearest airport that it simply wouldn't be worth it!!

I haven´t done it and wouldn´t do it if I can help it. I am not afraid of planes at all, but my feet and legs get swollen in planes. So I wouldnb´t take a plane just to come and go for the day.
