I need to travel from the east coast to Denver and the only reason I’m flying is because work wouldn’t let me file a mileage expense for a couple thousand dollars.

My wife works for the state and had to go from Columbus, OH to Detroit, MI for a professional conference. That's about a 3 hour car ride.

She's not allowed to take a personal vehicle to go. State vehicles are not allowed to leave the state. She had to fly there. She said it was easily slower to fly when factoring in getting to the airport, checking bags, etc. than to drive.
