[quote user="Phoebe Vet"] Henry: Notice that she also lowered the air price and time by eliminating the two bags I put in the challenge. I understand using the business class on the Acela price because this thread specifically addressed the Acela, but the train would be even cheaper ($49) if you went coach on the NE Regional.  The 6:00 AM Acela is $162.  The 8:50 AM is $186. [/quote] As I pointed out, the majority of travelers, whether on the shuttle or Acela, are business persons who are not carrying two bags.  You can, of course, rig the outcome anyway you want by changing the variables.  Your scenario has the person departing from a downtown hotel.  It would take longer to get to Penn Station from downtown, unless you planned to get the train from Newark, in which case it would still take longer to get to the rail station than to get from the Roosevelt to Penn Station. If you leave at 6:00 a.m., the flight takes only 59 minutes.  And you can get a fare for as little as $149.  In fact, if your going to one of the northern suburbs, you can get a flight to BWI for $79.    Downtown to downtown, I would opt for the train.  If I lived in Flushing, however, I probably would fly. Ditto if I lived in Mountain Lakes, NJ.  I had family in both communities.  Frankly, liked Flushing best of all.
