I'm in Texas right now....heading back toward Florida later today.....it's THE ONLY WAY TO TRAVEL!,
Arlen, How long did you take to fly from TX to Fl. I am planning on flying to TX in October if I have my RV6 by then for a cruise and was wondering how long it would take. I am going to be flying from Orlando/Leesburg area to Galviston, Tx. Please let me know. I am just trying to see if it is coast beneficial to fly the RV or go the dreaded Airlines.

Not Arlen, but SnF to College Station a few weeks ago was just a touch over five hours with 20-25 knot headwinds in our RV-6. One fuel stop - and easy afternoon.

Default Bags

When I take friends on a trip on the -10, I make them claim their luggage from carousel 6 just to give it that airline feel.
No lost luggage yet.
