Amtrak is pretty comfy in my experience. I took it from NYC to Charleston, SC and was impressed. This was back in maybe 2007, and they had outlets, I had never seen that on a plane at that time, and that wasn't a thing on busses either. The windows are large and the legroom is mich more than you'd get on a plane. Baggage was much less of a hassel as well. There was a dining car, but the options were pretty limited. It was nice just go be able to walk around, really. So if the price is right, I'd recommend it. It's an experience worth trying at least once.

In my experience Amtrak passengers are fine (and Greyhound isn't as bad as its rep)... but maybe I've been lucky. And I have only used either in the north.

I would say go for it.

East coast amtrak is extremely uncomfortable. Its slow, cramped, they make lots of stops and the windows are small. on the other hand, the metro north in new york is top tier comfy

The atrak a little further inland sucks and you have as much room as you do on a plane

That is absolutely false. Plenty of legroom on the Amtrak coaches, and the sleeper roomettes aren't too shabby either.

I rode it from Charlotte to New Orleans a few years ago, and it was clean, comfy and on time.

Go for it. There's even a dining car.

Then they either updated since i rode or you got one of the nicer ones. I rode 17 hours packed like a sardine
