Flying Delta from Newark to Atlanta takes 2 hours and 17 minutes. Add 1.5 hours for security, and the whole thing is about 3 hours 45 minutes each way. A round trip ticket costs $285.50 if you book the flight a week in advance. Decide to go today, and it'll cost you $437.50. Unless you go US Airways, in which case, your flight is cancelled and you are rescheduled for the next day so it takes you 18 hours each way, counting time spent waiting for them to actually fly an airplane. And it costs you a day of your vacation and a day's pay, respectively, on each end. The train from Newark to Atlanta takes 17 hours and 51 minutes and the return trip takes 17 hours and 15 minutes. Add in the 10 minutes you need to make sure you don't miss it, and we're up to 18 hours. A round trip ticket costs $406.00 if you book the trip a week in advance. Decide to go today, and you'll have to fly - they're booked solid for the next several days. Sleepers will cost you extra and are even less likely to be available. Perhaps US Airways would be more comfortable running trains. -- Wm. Donald (Don) Tabor Jr., DDS PP-ASEL Chesapeake, VA - CPK, PVG |
