Is there any long distance route that is cheaper than the New Orleans-Chicago fare at $245 (senior) in a roomette?
According to the title of this thread it's the cost per mile that's of interest, and it sounds like a good project for the OP. All that needs doing is look up all the route miles, use this chart to figure out the low bucket Roomette fares and a bit of division will yield the answer:
BTW, the actual route miles for the Silver Star is 1513 and please let us know what you find out, OK?
In considering lowest cost, I also look at the dollars/hour cost.Is there any long distance route that is cheaper than the New Orleans-Chicago fare at $245 (senior) in a roomette?
The low bucket New Orleans-Chicago fare for a Senior in a Roomette is actually $255.50 (not $245), which is about $13.10 per hour. That isn’t bad, but there are a bunch of routes where taking a low bucket Roomette end-to-end comes out to a significantly lower overall cost per hour.Is there any long distance route that is cheaper than the New Orleans-Chicago fare at $245 (senior) in a roomette?
