75-were f’ed 76- radios f’ed 77- the plane is f’ed

kai tak approach with a 747💀💀

I wish you would of shown your backpack (for size) 🫤

i take the train because I don't like getting molested by TSA. We so lost on 9-11

Next time get a roomette on the Florida leg. Keeps out the riff-raff and it's 1000 times more comfortable than an airplane. My bad back can testify to that. Plus they have a (shared) shower.

...and by 'cool', you mean TERRIFYING!

I hate it when people are so inconsiderate.

WHY....would you just go down in coach... Book a roomette! Having a private room, even if its really small, is amazing

Awesome fun in flight sim. My dad as a PPL got to ride in cockpit - invited by the cpt - landing there, a one off privilege.

nice video. i might be hopping on that train. If you really love trains , visit Poland one day. There is many wonderful train paths to chose from

R.I.P Kai tak 1924-1998

You should just asked me to go,I'm in Portland,,need to go fl,I'm not a weird doe!!well known,, smacked that guy around a little like Humphrey bogart

I'm from Hong Kong 🇭🇰

I love taking the train when traveling, I think it's the best way to see the country and everything it has to offer. However, if you have a rude seatmate like you did, then it sort turns off the experience and makes it negative. Apologies that you had to go through that, I like having a row to myself. I hope to make a similar journey like this soon, this looked like a lot of fun.

I’m actually surprised that that dude was able to constantly FaceTime. Like…. Don’t cell phones go “No Service” in areas without good cell towers?? So sorry that happened though. Glad things turned out fine, but dude was weird for switching seats to be seated next to you. Like…. No thanks. Avoiding one potential creep only for another one to show up and be creepy and loud. Yikes. Great video though regardless!

I personally would only fly flight out of LaGuardia, JFK and Newark for about 89- $147 but then again, there are some people who are just afraid to fly and feel safer on the train

I would have gotten a sandwich from the deli to have for meal not have to buy food on train .. I give you credit I would only do the ride in a sleeper car

I know roomettes are costly. But, you'd never have to deal with that guy. Once had a guy's chihuahua keep escaping from him while he slept next to me. . No sleep at all. 😕

FLY, OR RENT A CAR THE NEXT TIME !

It is more money but getting a bedroom is worth it on an overnight train

I landed on Kai Tak ❤

Took the Brightline from my cruise in West Palm Beach to Orlando to my next cruise. Decided to try first class and it was a wonderful experience. Having been on about 40 Amtrak trains as well as 2 European trains, it definitely held its own. Highly recommend it to anyone. Looking forward to riding it again. Nice to see a fellow Ohioan(Cleveland). I will definitely subscribe to your channel.

Next Time Book a Roomette, it's worth it. I did it twice from Philadelphia to Tampa and take along a UHF/VHF scanner to listen out for detailed information that train crew won't disclose over the PA. It's interesting to hear what the dispatchers telling the engineer. You also hear Hot Box Detectors every few miles.

U should do long train ride. Say from Miami to the San Antonio or futher then that. That's up to u

very nice loved it ive traveled in coach from san jose to chi town twice in coach. and never had problems ike u did on the last leg

85 on a Cathy Pacific 747, loved Hong Kong

Abbie why didn’t you change your seat. That a long trip to be uncomfortable. You also went by my hometown of New Haven. Keep making videos

Great trip, always an adventure when traveling via Amtrak. I will say you are brave girl, you never know who could sit next to you. I will be picky though Freeport, ME to Miami, FL would be the complete Northeast. Looks though you would have to north to Freeport first then back down, not really the all the way down south trip. Thanks for inspiration, wife wants to try this out. Will get a sleeper somewhere south of Washington, a shower will be needed.

I also had a great experience riding the bright line from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach and it was pleasant. I also rode the bright line from Fort Lauderdale to Miami and it was also a beautiful experience. I cannot wait for the bright line to start from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. That should be opening in 2028. Hope you had fun.

Nice Video. I am an Amtrak lover like yourself. I myself had some bad experiences riding coach on long distance trips, especially my experience going to Fort Lauderdale Florida on the train where I myself had to sit next to a very irritating customer. The other disgusting experience was several years ago when I was on the train going to buffalo and this one big overweight passenger sat next to me and I was so furious, I ended up sitting in the cafe car for the rest of my ride. From those 2 experiences, from that point, all of my Amtrak trips will be roomettes and ever since for the last 2 trips going to both New Orleans and Chicago, I enjoyed being in a roomette. May cost more, but it makes the trip more memorable and you have all the privacy in the world to yourself. I am actually looking forward to my next vacation, which will be California in December and that will be a roomette trip. Enjoy your travels.

You went through the backyard of a house I owned in Andover, MA - it was great having the railroad about 100 feet from my living room! The trains were great neighbors - totally quiet for most of the time and then 30 seconds of majestic motion going by. My daughter, born and growing up there, thought all houses had trains as neighbors. When we moved, she was deeply disappointed in the new house.

Definitely taking note. Too bad none of them go to Ohare.

I did this trip in 2001. It took 36hrs and I had similar experiences with crazies who I assumed were on a no-fly list. Never again.

I really enjoyed your video. You really stuck it out .... a real travel trouper. I enjoy train travel but I do think Amtrak can do a little better job on its long-haul service. And I feel bad they stuck you with a real creep next to you. They should know better. Hang in there .... I will look forward to your next video.

I'm curious of why you chose Back Bay versus Boston South station. South Station is much nicer and just as easy to get to coming from North Station.

Looks like a very fun trip. I never traveled on Amtrak but always wanted to especially along the east coast.

I never made it to the Delta Flight Museum but always wanted to go.

Anytime anyone mentions sleep masks, I hear Miles in Transit singing "Manta, blocks out all of the light..."

As I've experienced in coach before: God gives his strongest cell signal to his loudest talkers

First time watching her n she is super cute ❤

this is so funny we literally just took the train from Maine to Orlando a week ago

You are a train travel warrior! I always enjoy watching Amtrak trips in coach, because that is how the vast majority of riders travel. It is so tiresome watching the endless roomette videos, which are just not helpful. I would have liked to see more of your time in the cafe car and your meals, because we coach passengers do spend a lot of time there. Especially if you are traveling coast to coast in coach, which is something I've done. Think about a trip on the California Zephyr through the Rockies next!

Listen.... You are not obligated to sit in any particular seat when you are going coach.... As soon as the train starts, you get up, you look around and you could switch your seat anywhere. You want preferably look for a row that doesn't have anybody else in it... I know this because I have taken the coach on the auto train about twelve different times and I know you can sit wherever you want in coach..... But anyway... She's very nice and very nice to listen to....

South station in Boston would’ve been a better waiting place compared to back bay. There are restaurants! Could you transfer there after north station next time?

How did you create the map visuals? 🙏

On the speed, most of Amtrak's locomotives and cars are rated for 125 mph, but are mostly limited to much slower than that outside of the Northeast Corridor. (I see you rode Brightline--Amtrak's next generation national network locomotives and railcars are the same Chargers hauling Venture cars at 125 mph from Cocoa to Orlando.) The Acela is thought of as the "fast train" for its limited stops and higher top speed, but given speed limits on even the NEC between Rhode Island and New Haven, they're not actually _that_ much faster than the standard Northeast Regionals, they just make fewer stops.

Anchorage is refueling stop for the bigger planes. A lot of the older 747s and other wide body planes don't have the "legs" to make it to Asia, so they stop here for a refuel. Even regular passenger flights will make refueling stops here. I'll have to add it to my bucket list.

Ive traveled East coast to West Coast and back about 4 or 5 times. Most of those were in the 90s when i was stationed at Ft Bragg. Im sorry you had to deal with that creep. Next time inform the train crew and asknfor seat change. The conductor should accommodate you. I will say, its too bad they don't have the Slumbercoach anymore. It was a single room that changed into a bed at night. It had a sink and a toilet. Unfortunately, you didn't get the free meals in the dining car you do in the sleeper cars. It was a nice experience and i used it when possible going up and down the East Coast.

I hope you enjoy your Amtrak journey on the Northeast regional from Boston to New York especially the newly opened Moynihan Train Hall, I’m sorry you had deal with that idiot next time sneak get a empty seat that someone hasn’t been in the seat for a while during the trip.

I've taken the Star for day trips from Winter Park to Tampa and Kissimmee(Pre SunRail Phase Two and weekends) couldn't fathom a coach trip like that. As an aside Lynx is even cheaper than described here. If you are taking more than three one way trips in a Service Day ask for a day pass before putting money in their farebox 4.50 for a day pass. Saves even more than three one ways. Only issue is it covers the Service Day Not 24 hours and of course works for transfer rights for SunRail but that requires a step up fare.
