No, the price just goes up if you're going to a deadhead.

I thought you were talking about flying to CGY. Staying within the general NE area of the US would be a different story

And your lesser cost options are more time anyway. Rideshares are again on a timetable. Turboprops are horrible and take longer - it'd be a 2 hour flight (it's not just one hour even now - it's 1.5).
Coffee was only ever an option with the Flyers.

I always thought it was a matter of getting more like 3 trips per season for each set of grandparents instead of 1. Plus Xmas together. And Momma+baby making a trip or two the other way. And timezones. And dada getting home from a road trip at 1am instead of 5am.
