　　Personally, I'm a huge fan of traveling on the Amtrak, especially on the East Coast.Riding the Amtrakis way comfier and easier than flying, in my experience; an economy plane ticket usually means cramped seats, later boarding and extra baggage fees. Amtrak's stations are typically more centrally-located than airports and tickets includecomfy, reclining seats, free Wi-Fi, and power outlets. Crucially, there are no middle seatsone of the worst parts of air travel, I think.
