Most, if not all of the cities he visited either contained airports with Southwest Airlines hubs, or were very close to them. Accordingly, it is not clear why, for example, he often chose to incur 14 hours of driving time from Washington, D.C., to Nashville, Tennessee, when he could have spent a small fraction of that time in the air with only a small additional cost for the ticket. Accordingly, the court has calculated the total hours spent driving to and from D.C. and then added back in three hours for each leg of Mr. Morris s D.C./Mid-South trips. The six hours added back in should cover the amount spent in flight, plus the cost of his ticket any necessary rental car.
