If the flight saves more than about 3 hours, then I will fly. Often times if you have a connection, between the absurdly early time they want you at the airport, the time it takes in the layover airport and the time you claim your bags and get to your destination, there is not a whole lot of time saved...i.e 6 hours door to door for flying vs 8 hours for driving, I would probably just drive.

It’s an attitude of mind I guess, if I needed to get from Charlotte NC to Tampa FL, and it came down to either a flight that went via Atlanta GA, with a three hour layover at Atlanta, or rent a car and drive all the way, I’d opt for reading a book and sipping wine in Hartsfield airport Atlanta, rather than driving mile after boring mile, all the way from Charlotte to Tampa, but that’s just my take on it.

I will drive up to six hours one way. Beyond that, I'll be purchasing a plane ticket.
