I think I'd rather fly spirit, frontier, allegiant, or sun country than spend that much time in the twilight zone. Isn't airport food expensive enough that it's a wash anyway?
Well my trip wasn't planned out. It was a very last minute emergency type of thing. You can definitely make the "time is money" case, but I can work from anywhere as long as I have my laptop. Even with out the laptop my phone will do in a pinch.
As far as food goes I have only spent $20, and I brought a water bottle. I definitely agree that it isn't for everyone, but I did save a lot of money doing this. Plus, I have never had this much trouble getting out of an airport before.
I made it to Miami and I am currently waiting for my last flight to board. Looks like I will make it home soon. The real problem was trying to fly through Dallas/Fort Worth. Each flight was overbooked. I could have tried going through Charlotte but each one of those flights was delayed by several hours. It really was just a bad luck sort of thing, in my opinion.
