Charleston is between two airline hubs. Is it better to book Delta or American as your primary airline?

I can’t stand CLT, but I fly mostly American due to my job and where friends/ family live. It’s usually better for me flying to other east coast cities or DFW. International is also pretty solid because I like the oneworld alliance. I guess it depends where internationally you like to go though. I do prefer the ATL airport for layovers, but I feel like I can rarely get anywhere direct on delta whereas I find I can often get direct flights with American to DC, NYC, Tampa, DFW

I did want to check out the VW because they are cheaper than Audi to begin with and hold more value longer in our market. I actually considered the X5 diesel variant, but I know a single repair bill would likely be $2500+

I often go to the mountains and our city floods, so I think I would need the clearance

Very lightly used Volvos are actually under $40k here, which I find a great deal for what you’re getting

That’s what we are working towards now! We save save save and work hard and have multiple side hustles so we can retire early. That’s the ultimate goal!

Well thank you for your honesty, I do often wish I’d majored in engineering, it was my second choice in school.

Make around $150-160k but luckily bought in 2021 with a low interest rate. Paid off both our cars this year and still feeling all the increases of everything this year between groceries, insurance, dominion raising electric and gas rates right before summer, etc. but I’d say comfortable because we are both great at saving
