minus-squareThotDragon@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·2 years agoIt’s not cheaper to fly. I’ve looked at similar trips for work a couple times now and the cheapest flights are always about $400 and you get a massive layover in chicago.
minus-squareTotallynotJessica@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoMaybe I just got a special offer because I’m not in Portland, but the price was comparable, if not cheaper. Edit: The prices are even lower on the dates of the train ticket.
