Walk to the airport?

Welcome to our new segment: random acts of frugality. Where we will occasionally post topics on living a frugal lifestyle. The first edition is as follows.

Ever thought of walking to the airport?  Well recently Jack had to go to out of town for work and decided to walk from his hotel to the airport.  This is what he had to say on the experience:

I just walked from Luxor in Las Vegas to the airport. My company would have paid for a cab or shuttle but it just felt wrong when I can walk. It was only 2.5 miles but the luggage made it a little more challenging. I probably would have chickened out in the summer though.  Did not see anyone else walking here. a few people walking to work in the other direction (I'm guessing that they were going to work since they did not have suitcases or anything). I am enjoying watching these people who are out of breath from just walking in the terminal.

 So the next time you go to out of town check the distance from the airport to your hotel and consider walking.
