I drove my gal to the Minneapolis/St Paul (MSP) airport this afternoon at
1pm. She's flying home to Minot, ND for a week (1.5 hr flight).

I'm betting most everyone traveled on Friday... no one likes to travel on
Christmas Eve


$330 - $450 for a Friday depart - 4 flight options.
$250 (total) for a Saturday afternoon depart.
(NWA has a 'Minot to Mpls' monopoly)

We booked her for Saturday - this was 6 weeks ago.

1:30 ...we say good-bye in the concourse
2:15 ...she departed MSP
3:45 ...arrives in MOT
4:15 ...in her mom's kitchen ...520 (highway) miles away

Christmas Eve by 5 pm.

We thought it worked out perfectly: Sleep in Saturday morning, get a few
last minute things done before noon, head off for the airport at 12:30pm (45
minutes drive), be at "Ma's" for dinner. Save $100. g
