I used a sleeper train recently. Quality varies, and make a big difference on quality of sleep. The old diesel engines that stop at many busy locales are hard to sleep in. It was also pretty expensive, costing a lot more than a short flight (It was also less efficient wrt the route it took versus the airport-to-airport routes planes take).
- bobthepanda 5y agoSleepers are usually priced to compete not with the flight, but flight + one night at a hotel.
- Chris2048 5y agoIt was expensive even compared to flight plus a hotel/bnb, minus the benefit of an actual hotel room with facilities, peace & quiet, grumpy-ass-conductor etc.
- kingcharles 5y agoI've always found them more expensive, and rarely get a full night's sleep. But the weird attraction of regularly waking up in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes getting down from the train to walk around for a while, always kept me using them instead of cheap flights.
