Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private

How many are a final destination? Orlando is a big hub for planes coming from South America and Atlanta y the biggest US hub, so probably a lot of people flying that route are connecting and wouldn’t make a lot of sense to get a plane ticket and then a train and then another flight

It would absolutly make sense ? Especially if there are night trains that go slower and can help you get rest without paying an hotel.

  It makes sense if you are going to Atlanta or Orlando, not if you are just connecting somewhere else
  
  Don’t get me wrong, I love trains and I’d love to see a big network of high speed trains

You can have a high speed train station at the airport as well. A lot of European big hubs have that.

ATL is the second largest hub in the US after Chicago?

If you can fly pretty much anywhere from ATL in the world.

  Exactly my point, people flying that route are taking connecting flights

    Orlando to atl sure. But they would also go to Miami.
    
    I doubt anyone flying ATL to ORD for connecting in ORD
