So hop on the train, folks! >Amtrak will die if no one does; then we'll REALLY be missing something! I have to travel between Denver and Kansas City frequently--here's what I came up with: Amtrak I would have to go through Chicago(!!), so I didn't check further. It might be a good deal otherwise. Greyhound $65 15-16 hrs. Trailways $69 " Continental $75 (off peak) 1 1/2 hrs. Airlines $95 (peak) United $95 (Super-Saver) " Airlines $204 (Coach) $266 (First Class) So, for $10 & a little caution, I cut my travel time by AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE. (O.k., a lot of caution, some people got burned pretty bad by Continental last fall.) One last flame (apologies to those of you reading this in net.followup): Continental used to be a GREAT airline until Alonzo came along--some people just have a reverse Midas Touch.
