From Expedia.com and Amtrak.com <br /> <br />Flight from Los Angeles to Chicago: coach $279 redeye, $320 early morning <br />Amtrak's price is $320 <br /> <br />Flight from San Luis Obisco to Springfield: coach $720 <br />Amtrak's price is $360 <br /> <br />Notice how the airlines charge a very large premium flying into and out of small cities, whereas Amtrak's charge is similar..... <br /> <br />So if one is flying to and from a large city, airline flights will be similar if not cheaper, however, if one is flying to and from a small city, airline flights are always much more expensive...... This is the reason why Amtrak survives annually......
