I’d still rather take Amtrak over United Airlines any day of the week

I've taken Amtrak across the country from Philly to Seattle many times. Not once has the train been on time, but I didn't care.

In the dining car I've dined with and spoken to: an author, a spec-ops E-5, a BNSF executive, the owner of a private rail car, and a Brit living in France who is a historian of medieval European history. In the Pacific Parlor Car of the Coast Starlight, I've drunk brandy with a Scottish tourist who knew his British railroad history. You can't get that kind of experience on a plane.

The last time I flew United Airlines, it was a great experience because I accumulated enough Mileage Plus points to get a first-class seat. But with the new restrictions on flying, I may never fly anywhere again.
