While most of America is singing Rocky's theme "Gonna Fly Now!," University students are sticking to the tune of "On The Road Again."
Since American Airlines unveiled new low fares early this week, other airlines have also been slashing fares - leaving travelers across the country scrambling to make reservations.
But University students are not among those crowding airport ticket counters and gobbling up cheap seats at up to 50-percent off the regular cost.
Discounted fares at four major airline companies - Continental, Northwest, United and American Airlines - have not been enough to persuade students to keep their cars in the garage.
The main reasons to stick to the steering wheel? Students blamed long-range planning and lack of knowledge about the changing fares.
"I think too many people made plans too far in advance to change arrangements and try the new fares," LSA senior Allison Kile said.
LSA sophomore Pete Schlenker said he was not a big fan of airline travel at any cost.
"I'm never a big flyer so I don't really pay attention to the new rates," Schlenker said.
Jonathan Chaffer, an LSA first-year student, said he plans to travel to Indianapolis for spring break but is driving "because everyone else is," and because his plans are already made.
Chaffer also said he had no knowledge of the current drop in prices.
United Airlines spokesperson Kristina Price said airlines are relying on public knowledge of the possible American Airlines strike and ads in major newspapers to boost sales. But, this may not be enough to capture students' attention.
Jeremy Burns, an Engineering sophomore, said he was "not up-to-date" on the airfare war.
Other students know the details but still opt for the roads.
"Yes, I was aware of the low prices, but I don't really care about them," LSA sophomore Marek Krzyzowski said. "I don't travel on airplanes."
A Northwest Airlines spokesperson said tickets for flights to the most coveted destination, Florida, are going fast, but clients making reservations mostly don't include students with spring break plans.
While destinations for Spring Break range from New Jersey to California, many plans include places in Michigan- meaning a plane isn't always the best transportation solution.
"I don't think planes fly from Ann Arbor to Cheboygan," said LSA first-year student James Ekdahl, who is travelling to that Michigan city for break.
Other students agreed, saying they plan to "just stay here" for break and not take advantage of the fares.
LSA senior Michael Miller said no matter how low airline rates drop, driving is less expensive.
However, American Airlines apparently doesn't need the help of students to increase its sales - the company has already had an extraordinary response.
Juliet Baker, an American Airlines sales representative, said she has seen an large increase in flight reservations.
Some students said airline loyalty was more important than saving a few bucks.
"I saw information about American Airlines in USA Today," said LSA first-year student Jeff Harris. "But I'm a Delta fan."
