dont listen to them. coach is NOT that bad. its is extremely roomy compared to a plane. amtrak has very nice service with an observation and dining car. ive never gotten a roomete. but when i get bored of sitting in my seat i go hang out in the observation car which has a snack bar on the lower level. ive done this three times. from chicago to new mexico, new mexico to chicago, and from chicago to denver. i personally think that the view is alot more enjoyable than a plane. yes it may take like 20 hours on the train, but if you make it part of the vacation too, and not just the transportation to your vacation spot, it can be very very fun. its about the same cost as flying southwest airlines. and omg, i personally cant stand being smashed into an airplane seat. the train isnt that bad at all. if you've never done it before then trying it for the first time should be fun no matter what just because its something new and cool. just make sure you make your dinner and breakfast reservations for the dining car early, because they fill up quick. here is a picture of my little brother on the train, to show you how big the seats are compared to an airline. the leg rests are up and those seats go back a bit farther. they also make stops every few hours to let passengers on and off. its great to get off for the 10 minute stops and have a smoke as well.
