I am scared of flying so I mostly drive when need to travel. I only fly when I need to go to Samoa. That's where my dad is buried.

I do not fly that often. I normally use the airport about two times a year, but I probably would fly more if it was cheaper.

I hardly ever fly. I use the airport every couple of years. I only fly if I have a reason, and I don't have many reasons to fly at the moment, but price is definitely a factor in my choice of flights.

I use it about once every six months. I would use it way more if flights were cheaper though. I have been watching to see if flying becomes cheaper than driving to places I need to go to.
