This Guide Shows US Routes Where Trains Are Better Than Flying

Train services in the USA aren’t widespread, but there are places where the train is actually a better choice than flying. The Points Guy has a guide that rounds up routes where travel by train is cheaper, and sometimes quicker, than by plane.

The routes Nick Ewen, contributor to The Points Guy, compares are:

  • New York to Boston
  • Washington DC to New York
  • Chicago to Milwaukee
  • Los Angeles to San Diego
  • Fort Worth to Oklahoma City
  • Chicago to Ann Arbor/Detroit

If you plan to travel on any of these routes, you can use the information laid out in this guide to go by train rather than flying. For details on each route, including costs, travel time and on-time performance, check out the full post at the below link. (Lifehacker Australia can definitely recommend the LA-San Diego route.)
