Southwest airlines has 10 flights a day between Austin and Phoenix.  
Will that upright fit securely under the seat in front of you or in 
the overhead compartment?  

Let's see, a $1200 gig, split four ways is $300 each.  The "internet 
special" pricing on the plane ticket is $150 each way, then there's 
the $30 cab fare to/from both airports, or $30/day to rent a car  plus 
gas plus parking your own car at the departure airport, an overnight 
hotel (unless you can bunk with a friend, or find a red-eye flight 
home).  Sounds to me like the net loss would only be a couple of 
hundred dollars.
