Top 10 Reasons Why Amtrak is Better Than Flying

On many planes, there are no electrical outlets. On Amtrak trains, there are power outlets at each seat.

On airplanes, the seats have very limited recline. Not only do the seats on Amtrak recline much more, but reserved seats have leg rests, foot rests, and curtain.

If you're flying to New York City, airplane tickets can cost over $250. If you take Amtrak, you can get there for as low as $155.

This is one of the reasons why flying is so expensive. You have to PAY for them to get your bags on the plane. Amtrak is nice enough to include checked baggage free of charge.

If you go on Amtrak, you can see the world from a whole different perspective, whereas in an airplane you see stuff, just 35,000 feet up in the air.

If you pay extra, you can actually get your own room in a sleeping car on the train.

If you have a fear of flying, then Amtrak is for you.

Eating on most Amtrak trains is FAR from the junk you get on airplanes.

I'm not bashing flight attendants but the people who work at Amtrak are always super nice to us.
