I'm pretty sure there's a direct line there. The Carolinian or something like that.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There's a train, it's fairly cheap (I looked into it once) but the times are kinda random. (Edit: But you could also look into Independence Air, which at least round trip isn't always more expensive...)

Hmmm, hadn't thought about a commuter flight. Anyone know how long the train ride might take?

About six hours, I think.

It's pretty cheap on AirTran.

I will never fly AirTran again.
Two of the worst flying experiences I ever had going back and forth to Philadelphia. I've been more comfortable on a schoolbus.

Other carriers usually match AirTran. My method is to check for sales on AirTran, which drives the market, and then fly on Delta.

ND, you might check Southwest. I know they fly nonstop from Raleigh to BWI, which is only about 45 minutes north of DC. If someone couldn't pick you up, there are ways to take public transportation down. Southwest's rates are cheap, the planes are pretty comfy (a big step up from AirTran, IMO), and it's a lot quicker (and often less expensive) than the train.
That said, I love travel by train. I think it depends on which one sounds more appealing to you and which one allows you more time to visit with people.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I am a big fan of trains, especially considering how much I ride in them over here. I'm not sure I'd choose a train over a plane in every circumstance, but I do like them.

It's so rare to do trains on this coast that I think Ima gonna do the train. Also, the train is much easier to get a ticket at the last moment and that way I can be a little bit on the flexible side with my plans.
