Planes, trains, or automobiles? …Just in time for Memorial Day, a new survey (done on behalf of Ford) found that when it comes to travel, most Americans would rather take a road trip. According to survey respondents, 73% feel driving to your destination is a much better experience than flying. In fact, the average American would be willing to add six and a half hours to their travel time if it meant they could avoid the airport and plane and drive instead.
The plus-sides of road-trippin’, according to survey respondents: Scenic views (69%), being able to stop whenever you want (69%) and being able to pack whatever you want (57%).
According to the survey, these are the Top 10 Most “Road-Trip-able” States:
- California -- 34%
- Florida -- 26%
- Colorado -- 25%
- Arizona -- 22%
- Alaska -- 19%
- Texas -- 19%
- New York -- 19%
- Hawaii -- 17%
- Georgia -- 16%
- Maine -- 16% (SWNS)
