Ew Denny's? I fully support gimmick weddings as a Vegas goon, but we've supremely stepped up our breakfast foods game to much to endorse you wasting time or money on it.

I spent almost a decade living in Europe so I get frustrated that I can't just take a train between cities, especially since I'm just old enough to remember how much less pre-9/11 air travel sucked.

I would love to take a train rather than flying, but just as an example, to travel from the east coast to visit my parents in the midwest, a train: a) is roughly the same price 2) takes ~20 hours compared to about 4.5, counting security (hooray for TSA pre-check) iii) departs or arrives at awesome times like 3AM, whereas a plane can be obtained during normal person hours It was even worse when I lived out west; I really wanted to take a train across the country at least once, but in the end I could never justify the 2+ days I'd have to spend on the rails to still show up at 3 in the morning.

Crakkerjakk posted:Yeah, US trains mostly suck, sadly. There's no reason why there shouldn't be a high speed network centered around Chicago though, it's been studied (by France's high speed rail operator) and it has a similar population distribution to much of Europe in terms of city sizes and distances between them. The East Coast already has an extensive train network that just needs modernization for the most part. California and the PAC NW should have their own networks as well. e:  Think of Chicago as being Paris in this case in terms of rail.

High speed rail from Carbondale to Chicago would be great Especially if it meant divorcing Amtrak from what operates by Carbondale as a freight track with some passenger use and giving it a dedicated passenger track

Crakkerjakk posted:I'm only 5'9", but yes, European trains really are WAY more comfortable than all but business class flying. There's way less noise, you can get up and walk around comfortably, the seats are bigger, the train rocks gently while it's moving, you can see pretty landscapes sliding by. Not to mention they're usually not as full as a plane. And of course not having to deal with security lines. Just go to the food cart and get wine/beer/whatever and enjoy the gently caress out of the train. Oh, and you 95% of the time end up in the downtown area near all the cool poo poo in the city and keep up the partying. Trains kick rear end the otherside of the Atlantic.

Travel snob here. If I don't do the maintenance on it I don't want to travel in it. That being said I'll gladly drive from Florida to Alaska in a few days solo if the vehicle is interesting enough.

I got to ride in the top deck of a 747 once on a United flight from Heathrow to the US fifteen years ago. That was an awesome flight. RIP 747 passenger flights.

I flew on the upper deck of a delta 747 a few years ago. While delta had updated the seats and such recently you could see how tired those 747s were, they looked more worn than the DC-9s before they were retired.

I fly internationally for work quite a bit, generally to sub-Saharan Africa. My agency’s travel policy puts me in business class for long haul transatlantic flights, which is obviously great, but the rest of my itinerary usually has me on African carriers. For a lot of these countries, having a national carrier is something of a bit of pride, so they actually try to make you feel like you’re being treated like a real human being. It’s way better than most domestic economy travel in the US where they soak you for every dollar for a lovely experience. That said, airport screening in West Africa is hilariously bad. I had a pair of 2”, soft tipped scissors that I use for trimming my beard confiscated out of my bag while they completely missed the much larger trauma shears in my FAK. I too wish rail travel in the US was more widespread. It’s comfortable and pleasant. Some day, I’d love to spring for a sleeper car and travel cross country via Amtrak.

Train travel beats the poo poo out of commuter air travel so hard it isn't even funny. I legitimately get misty-eyed that I can't reasonably do a San Diego-Sacramento train trip instead of taking a plane.
