The break-even point between driving and flying for 2 people is approximately 600-800 miles one way. Below that, driving is almost always cheaper. Above that, factor in the value of your time — an 8-hour drive vs a 2-hour flight means 12 hours of saved time for two people. At $25/hour value, that is $600 in time savings that may justify the airfare.
