I'm flying more now than ever before in my life.  My employer has a generous expense policy, and I get free upgrades on a major airline.  I also have TSA PreCheck and almost total control over my itinerary whenever I travel.
It still stinks on ice.  I drive whenever I can.  I have a 1000 mile trip next week (each way) and if I could get away with it I'd take the extra days on each end to drive.
