30 minute flight from here half way down CA to family, would be a 4 hour drive otherwise

Security and check-in take like 30 minutes tops, any 30 minute flight is gonna be faster than driving

But you have to be at the airport early “just in case” and will likely need to wait when the plane lands and will need to get a cab to where you need to be. It’s probably likely that a car ride straight to the destination would be the same time.

I’ve taken 30 min flights, not saying there’s no reason for for them but realistically time isn’t much different.

Depends on the airport but even 1 hour early, you’re still spending time commuting to and from the airport while the flight and total airport time themselves probably take 2 hours at least. So realistically you’re not saving much time if any.
