It was a revelation. So much room, so many amenities, such service.

These days, I fly Southwest everywhere I go in the U.S. The short hops are fine, but I dread being on a plane for more than an hour.

If Amtrak can get you where you need to go without changing trains, consider it. It'll take a lot longer, but you can relax and enjoy yourself.
