Amtrak Empire Service

Pros: Relaxed. Gave me an opportunity to catch up on reading (and a nap!) rather than driving. Cons: If everyone had a card to put on a seat indicating it is occupied, that would speed up loading It was a holiday weekend and all seats were sold but it was difficult to tell which seats were still available when we boarded.

Amtrak Empire Service

Pros: Staff are friendly and helpful compared to airline staff. I have not taken a train in decades and this experience is so nice: seats are roomy, can get up and walk, there’s a dining car and big rest rooms. Lastly, it is relaxing with nice views. Tips: If you have the time, take the train instead of being squeezed in an airplane. Besides, the schedule is predictable whereas there’s no guarantee the airplane will take off especially in the wintertime. You may be stuck in the airport for hours like what we have experienced.
