If Amtraks were more luxurious, I might agree with you, but these days you might as well be riding Snowpiercer (and I don’t mean the good parts).


My seat on the Amtrak Cascades in September was more comfortable and had about 6 inches more legroom than any airplane I’ve ever flown on. First or Business class on an international flight will be way better than a roomette on Amtrak however.


In that the wealthier clientele have better accomodations? Outside of Southwest isn't that true of airplanes?

But I'd like to see more investment in rail & a better coach experience, absolutely.
