Thanks Jis. I knew I was missing something. That track diagram really helps make it clear for me.

Jis I am not sure who else to ask, but I have a feeling you have a pretty good idea. What I can't yet visualize is where the new tubes will enter Penn Station. This photo is taken basically directly above the current two tubes. To the right are the tracks leading to empire tunnel. Just...

Any idea when this will go on sale? i have to go up that way in August and was hoping to do at least one way on the train vs flying.

To be a real stickler you can reach SIN from JFK on Singapore Airlines on their daily A380 service with a stop in Frankfurt, Germany. I for one am rooting for something to happen with both the NJ Transit NEC service and also airport to Manhattan service. Since moving from the NJ Coastline to...

Don't forget the excellent list made by Superliner Diner The rails to room directory. An exhaustive list of hotels near every Amtrak station. A great general resource. http://kevinkorell.com/hotels/hotels.htm

I think my biggest hang up with the European train travel I've been doing is that even with high speeds and nice equipment Europe is just a large place. I work for a company based in Salzburg, and always try to incorporate as much train travel as I can into my visits. There are lots of places...

Thankfully I don't live in Kansas :) 

I think they have a shot here. Its only 2x a week. Plus this would be part of the OneWorld TATL Joint Venture so you are really spreading the risk around here.

You can ride the AirTrain to the Howard Beach Station and then ride the escalators down to the parking area. From there you could walk to the subway by leaving through the entry gates, and down the fence line there to the subway yes. I often park my car in front of the Howard Beach Airtrain...

Aren't we getting a little ahead of ourselves here in this thread? Condor was already flying this route. It's just switching over to LH. Granted Condor and LH have since severed ties but they used to be under the same umbrella, so I am sure they had access to how this flight was doing. Now...

I took the journey both ways in First as the up charge was very very low, and since I was travelling alone getting a single seat made it a much nicer ride. The seat side meals don't happen on the weekends so you have to be careful when you are booking. The lounge at the station in Lisbon is a...
