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

It is hard to prepare for emergency while traveling, I know. That is why I have rounded up some of the most useful safety travel apps that can be downloaded over various platforms (smart phone, tablets, and computers) so you can carry them with you and always be informed in case of an emergency! 1.
