See? This is why I want high-speed trains instead.

That also raises the question why take a plane for a 4 hour road trip? You Americans definitely fly too much IMO, you almost take a plane to your next-door neighbor (although that may make sense in certain regions of Texas or Nevada ). Although honsetly trains aren't perfect either, the last time they managed to turn a 1.5hour trainride into a 2.5 hour nightmare where people had to climb (yes climb, there was another rail between the train and the train station) out of the train and onto some train station and see how to get to their destination. Granted it was the day of the loveparade where everybody and their mother (except myself) was heading but even with some extra trains it was apparently a minor chaos.

But then that happens a lot less often than what you describe, it's not the first time I read about this, lost baggage also seems to be a problem on US airports with some people having to wait days to get it back(lots of fun on a short business trip).
