[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by donclark</i> <br /><br />Yes, the price with a Saturday night layover is $356 from LA to Fort Wayne. But lets change that a little, say from Santa Barbara to Fort Wayne. Price is $632 without a Saturday night layover on the red eye flight, and $722 for a day flight.... <br /> <br />Flying from or to major airports is cheap. Flying elsewhere isn't...... <br /> <br />Amtrak beats this easily....hey, you might even want to plunge on a sleeper..... <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Are you kiddin? Ft Wayne is a Pudunk town, 275,000 maybe. We BARELY have jet service. <br /> <br />I derned near took Amtrak for that trip, priced it out, with the summer discount it was like $600 round trip, which while nearly twice the air fare, I had a ~use it before we loose it~ outlook, youknow one last trip for old times sake? So, I wasgonna splurge, but when I went to order, I found out I ALSO had to buy a coach seat to go along with the sleeper, for an extra $325.00 And $925 was out of the question. <br /> <br />For the extra $575 they wanted to charge me for "lodging" compad t Airfare, I could spend those 4 nights in an A+ resort, sorry AMTRAK, that ain't no way to run a railroad. I just wanted to rent the sleeper berth, not buy into it's amortization on a time share basis
