    US air travel is a fucking joke[;] it’s getting to where I’d rather take a train.

    yeah. Can you imagine a rolling capsule hotel? Go to bed in Bakersfield and wake up outside of Newark as the train slows for your stop? “bing-bong… your stop, SEC-AU-CUS, is in 30 minutes. Please …bzzt…check your bags and ensure you have everything with you when you leave. pchkt!”

      Did a long trip on a train once and did just this. Started the trip late in the day, woke up almost at the destination. Was great!
