Travel to Mark Dodge

So, being the truck is in shipping status since Feb 17 now is the time to decide how to get tf there. For those that flew in did you go to Houston then they picked you up (round trip) then departure? It looks like its about 2 hour drive (140 miles) which I believe is below what they said they could do for pickup. I plan on having it shipped so just staying overnight.

If I was to fly in Lake Charles would be my first choice. Houston would be my second choice.

I did this and it was a really pleasant experience. They picked me up from L’Auberge the next morning to go to the dealer.

Looks like from Vegas it'll be one stop (Dallas or Houston) then on to Lake Charles. Still researching.

I did find a flight from Oakland to lake Charles, the cheapest was $1050. I will stay in Houston

You said you're having it shipped. Are you just flying in for an inspection or something?

That was the plan. Doesn't everyone want to check before it ships?

Not enough to buy a plane ticket haha. Mine was perfect and the pictures they sent made me feel content.

I get it though, if you have the means and the time.

I flew into new orleans. They meet me with the truck. I looked it over and drove home. Saved me 2.5 hrs of drive time and few hundred dollars in airfare.

Did they have someone drive your truck to meet you in New Orleans, or did they deliver on a flatbed? My truck is on the way too, and I’m weighing my options now as far as picking it up. Keep going back and forth

They drove my truck to me and had someone follow in a car to return home.

I connected in Dallas and flew to Lake Charles. I think it was 900 for first class both legs.

Either to Houston or New Orleans to check the city first, then to dealership. Don't want to leave brand new truck somewhere in parking lot while exploring the city lol
