Gertrude is right. Flying somewhere as a PPL in your average 100 knot spamcan (like the PA28, C172, DR400, ...) will in all but a few cases takes more time than either driving there, or flying there commercially.
Not to mention the cost of doing so.
Flying somewhere privately is only really worthwhile, timewise, if:
- You live relatively close to your departure aerodrome
- You either have your own plane, or a group/club with good availability
- You do not take flight planning time (half an hour for simple flights, multiple hours for complex flights) into account
- The destination can be reached in a relatively straight line by aircraft, but only via a very circuitous route by car (e.g. when it involves crossing a large body of water)
- The destination is the airfield, or is very close to the airfield.
- The weather is benign, even for the return journey
In all other cases, take your own car or fly commercially.
Consider this. Your car will do 60-ish knots and will take you from your house directly to your destination. Your airplane will do 100-ish knots but requires hassles with local transport at each end, plus preflight, fuel stops etc. All that lost time has to be made good by the higher speed of the aircraft, which isn't really all that higher than the car.
There are plenty examples of people who took the car to the airfield, preflighted and fueled the plane, flew to their destination airfield where they landed, paid the landing fees and got into a taxi to travel to the local train station, where they caught the same train they could have caught if they had gone to the train station immediately instead of to the airfield. And they could've stayed in bed for an hour longer even.
