But in turn you highlight a drawback of driving - if there’s adverse weather you’ll likely have to set off anyway not knowing if you’re going or not. And then potentially spend a night or two stuck in a (potentially expensive) hotel you’ll probably have to pay for out your own pocket, possibly without a car because it’s in the pre-booked car park.
Or you could be at home until your new flight goes, which might be your original route or a detour via MAN or somewhere else.
