For a case study, look at TOL. This is a nice, convenient little airport that used to have a decent selection of flights: DL to CVG and ATL, NW to DTW, AA to ORD, CO to CLE, US to PIT, AirTran, and maybe a few more. All that's left now is AA to ORD, and a few weekly flights to Florida on...

Checked baggage is secondary; the point is that there are too few places where the rail network (especially LD rail) can be accessed directly from the airport. This is commonplace at major EU hubs (FRA, CDG, AMS, ZRH) but rare at major US airports (EWR now, MIA under construction). There are a...

CVG is similar, with half of the terminal/concourse buildings currently closed. However, in both cases the airports have been de-hubbed. The capacity that is now surplus was there to serve connecting passengers and flights that now flow through other hubs. If the facilities had been sized to...

Just a minor point of orthography, but I really hope it's the diners rather than the dinners that last that long. <_<

Yes, Delta removed the fee for booking within 21 days (some other airlines still have it). However, once an award flight is booked using Skymiles, it cannot be changed within 72 hours of departure, not even for a fee. If you get sick two days before the flight and are unable to travel, there...

United MileagePlus Explorer cardmembers will only receive one 25,000 bonus miles award if they apply for both the United Explorer Card and the Continental OnePass Plus Card after 7/19/2011. Both CO MasterCard and UA Visa currently offer 25K for the first use and 5K...

To find these codeshares on continental.com or other travel sites, use the rail station codes ZFV, ZTF, and ZVE respectively. Continental does not currently codeshare (and possibly never did) to ZYP - Penn Station even though the station code can be found on their list of destinations.

To add to the confusion, it seems Guest_USrail21_* may have posted several times (in this thread and others) as Guest_guest_*. :wacko:

Wow, that would take a very powerful magnet. :unsure:

Yes, at some point early next year all Continental OnePass miles will be replaced with the same number of United MileagePlus miles. If you have both accounts now, you can link them and transfer miles. For example if you have UA miles they can be transferred to CO and then to AGR while that...

I would suggest buying the train tickets online in advance, as there can be significant discounts available. This page has detailed information on how to use the Renfe site. Some people have reported being able to get the discounted tickets from Rail Europe or from rumbo.es with a small markup...

I took the bus on Saturday, and they were accepting credit cards only at Union Station; no cash. Sounds like that was the case for Ctim2 also. I'm guessing what Guest experienced was a temporary inability to accept cards for whatever reason. :giggle:

Interesting; that's the exact opposite of what their web site says: The FlyAway Network does not accept cash. Tickets may be purchased at the bus with Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit or debit cards.

Which came first, "Railpax" (the name that was almost used instead of Amtrak) or "National Rail Passenger Corporation"?

The "Timeline" section of both the Super Chief and El Capitan articles states (emphasis added): So a careful reading of either Wikipedia article would have cleared up the supposed discrepancy.

The Tri-Rail shuttle bus departs from the baggage claim level outside Terminal E and goes to the Hialeah Market Station. Tri-Rail connects to Amtrak at Hollywood and at several other stations farther north. Tri-Rail appears to run hourly, with a few extra trains at rush hours, and is scheduled...

Hertz at CUM is at a gas station, so picking up or dropping off a car outside of the advertised Hertz hours may not be a problem as long as the station itself is open. Call ahead to make sure, but they would probably have the paperwork and the car ready to go when you arrive, if they know...

If you take the Capitol to Cumberland, you have no worries about the bustitution. Hertz has a location just a few blocks from the station, IIRC, and should be able to pick you up there. Not sure if they would do one way rentals (at a reasonable price) but it might be an option.

You do realize why the computer showed the roomettes and lower level seats sold out for #30 but they were available on the train, right? Those reservations were for the people connecting from that day's #8, which was also late. :help: Okay, without knowing your travel dates that's just a...

Why not make the later train in each direction an express, with TOL the only stop between CLE and CHI. Keep all the stops on the earlier train (adding BYN to the EB CL) so there's minimal impact on the smaller communities. Passengers to and from the local stops can change in CLE or TOL as...
