I just flew for the 1st time last year. I WAY prefer it, but then, I didn't have to fly with my grandkid!
Even factoring in the airport it makes my life easier. Takes 16 hrs off my trip. The hardest thing about Orlando airport is driving in/out. The inside is big, but easy to navigate. Way better I think that Detroit - I got so lost there, lol and nody could tell me where to go.
I have been getting tickets through Allegiant for around $70. Cheaper than driving. (That's Toledo to Sanford, no stops)
Good luck and have a blast!
