I honestly much rather prefer airport to airport. I'm about 45-60 minutes away from the nearest airport (and I frequently use an airport an hour and a half away), but getting it at the airport often cuts out a lot more transit time and stress on the fish than people think. It sometimes costs more, but I've heard my fair share of usps/ups (and even expirienced some to a degree) stories to pay that extra money. Especially down here in Texas in the hotter months, if transit takes too long or isn't done right you can be out a lot more money than it would've costed to do AP to AP. Just my opinion
