Trains aren't that expensive, at least in coach. Eg a trip from San Francisco to Reno for Jan 15th is $69 flying, or $72 by train riding coach. If you get a private room, then it's expensive, $430 !
And I've also found you don't have to book as far ahead with trains. Eg for tomorrow, that same trip is $287 by plane, or $60 by train.
- ghaff 2y agoWell, yes perhaps. But I’m not taking a coach seat on an 18 hour trip from NY to Chicago.

Personally, I want to take the Chicago to SF train, and do a few day stops in various cities instead of getting the sleeper car. So it would probably be about ~1w of travel.
