Wilde Child Travel: Train v. Plane

Are you trying to decide between a train ticket and a plane ticket? I can help make that choice a little easier!

Trains:

Pros

-Scenic views: hills, vineyards, and cows

-Lots of leg room; you can walk through the cars to get exercise

-No passport needed

-No liquid restrictions

-No luggage restrictions, weight or size

-Plugs for electronics

Cons

-Food; it's not included in ticket price

-Travel Time is longer; they stop at various stations. Pay attention or you'll miss your stop

-Usually more expensive than a flight

-Class by cars; if you sit in the wrong car you could get a fine which results in you paying MORE!

-Thieves. There are thieves everywhere, but on trains you need to keep your luggage within eyesight.

Planes:

Pros

-Faster

-Good for international travel

-Cost less; especially when you use reward miles or points

-Beverage and food are included, depending on the length of the flight

-Easy Seating with designated seats

-You get passport stamps!

Cons

-Liquid restrictions; 3.oz liquids in 1 quart bag.

-Carry-on restrictions due to size and weight.

-Little leg room, not easy to walk in those tight aisles

-Lost luggage is a risk if you check your bags

Kyoto, Japan | Owl Family Cafe

I've been beyond excited about this for months now and am very glad that I was able to do this! At first the cafe was frustrating because we arrived 15 minutes before our scheduled time, as was instructed on my reservation.

The price included 1 hour with the owls, one hot or cold beverage, and the workers take photos of you with the owls on your behalf (using your phone or camera). I loved the Japanese beverage shelves. The top shelf has a thick white ...

I believe the more work you put into your trip before travel, the more fun and relaxing the trip will be! Don't forget to check out an earlier post on Which Travel Size Fits You to help determine if group travel is for you! Currently I’m in the midst of planning a group trip with some friends overseas - which adds a bit more difficulty to this group travel planning process. They live in Europe and I’m in Ohio, so it's not like we can all sit down over coffee to hammer out the details in one go. But, thanks to modern technology there's group chat, video messages, and other ways to overcome the time differences. We know where we want to visit; Rome. Now we come to figuring out how long each of us are able to travel. ...
