Why Fly Off the Handle or Drive Yourself Crazy? Train Yourself to Relax!
An announcement that Amtrak to trim one-way Acela fares by 25% is causing FlyerTalk members to re-think their airline ties regarding flying to certain destinations between March 3 and June 26, 2009, when this sale promotion is in effect, as the train fares could be potentially less expensive than airfares between similar origins and destinations.
