"For me, air price and availability are the biggest deterrent. Throw in the US stock market and the continuing out of control inflation and it is not a good combination. There were times in the past I was here 2 and 3 times a year but the cost of the trip, the airport mess and lack of good air options is a deal breaker."
So true. Do yourself a favor and don't look at the Stock Market while there. You'll come back ready for an AA meeting.
