Good for them. No wonder they're not focusing on cross-country, the US is huge compared to Europe.

  Depends on what do you mean by "Europe". The continent is slightly larger than the US.

    Copenhagen is closer to Zurich than Chicago is to NYC. Even Paris/Berlin is closer than Chicago/NYC. The US's major cities are not close to each other, with the exception of the North-East Corridor, and the distances involved are far larger than most corresponding distances in Europe--you have to be talking about trips between Spain and very deep into Russia to start to compare against the NYC/LA pairing.

      The East Coast and the West Coast are far away. Because the US are almost as huge as Europe :-)
