But, if you can be even just a
little flexible with your schedule then you certainly can do quite alot with
a PPL, and even if you fly strictly VFR. Add an instrument rating and
maintain your currency and you greatly extend the utility of your PPL.

Still, you can apply a simple test: Which predominates when you fly, the
flying itself or the destination? The answer, in the great majority of cases,
is the flying itself. Therefore it is not transportation.
