I looked up NYC to Washington DC. Booking a few weeks ahead, fares started at $20 each. A few hundred if you did Club! Their palava of getting to airport, etc, allegedly paying for a tank of fuel but only using half, plus all the other add ons, then having to make the drive itself must surely have cost more, a lot more. Though I am forgetting Red Eyed Rover is a travel agent, so he knows best.
