Re: Business travel between Washington, DC and New York City
In addition to the "downtown to downtown" factor, and the far greater comfort for the train, you can also use your phone practically the entire time on the Acela, and plug your laptop into an electrical outlet.
I would say that this distance is about the limit for the train making more sense than flying, though. Washington to Boston the shuttle flights win. |

Acela and it's not even close.
LaGuardia is the King Shithole of Shithole airports |

Re: Business travel between Washington, DC and New York City
a) Delta takes off every hour. It takes off ON the half-hour.
b) The Washington Post did a big feature on the merits of the train, shuttle, and bus to DC. you might find it if you google it, though it's kind of an old story c) Depending upon when you get your plane ticket, it will be cheaper than the Acela, even factoring in the cab to LaGuardia. d) All in all, having done both many, many times, it's very close. In perfect weather, I prefer flying. If there's a chance of rain or snow, I prefer the train. |
