Help answer this question below.
I think I would opt for the train
Water, if I'm going somewhere where I have the option. Across land though, train is a favorite. Although I've also had some really interesting bus trips cross country. Automobile is another favorite, it lets you stop and see the countryside and not just in passing. I don't like to fly, given any other option.
I would prefer train when I'm travelling across country but unfortunately, I'd rather walk than ride Amtrak.
By water. Every time!
Train. I loved that movie! +5
Actually, I prefer to travel by Harley-Davidson! : D
Automobile thank you. I prefer to have control over my method of travel
Plane:
1. Much faster
2. Lower injury and death rate per passenger mile.
3. Lower cost considering meals, gas, car expenses and
overnight.
We can travel in 2+ hours the same distance it takes for 2 hard days driving.
A cruise ship is by far my favorite! But, I'll travel any way it's offered.
I am a road trip guy, and like to be the wheel man. Planes are fine for long trips that I don't have the time for or cannot get to by car.
I prefer to take a long car trip, and to NOT be the driver. It's the best of naps!
When I was a baby and my parents had trouble getting me to go to sleep at bedtime, they'd ride me around the neighborhood and I'd be zonked out in no time.
Depends on the distance to travel. For short distance i will prefer my bike, for medium distance train and for large distance planes.
i prefer the train, im pretty scared of flying, and i get sea sick so out of those three, the train is my only option! Xx
Going this month by automobile this time.
dont mind any of them just as long as i get to where i am goin
Planes are faster but trains are awesome
Plane....would much rather get there quickly.
I love traveling with all 3 of those, but my preference is the plane.
Trains are the most fun in my opinion, but I usually don't have the patience to take one farther than a few states away.
Train is first choice!
I am a road trip guy first, unless I do not have the time to drive I will fly.

I took a plane to NY and took the train back. It was so much easier taking the train, plus they have electric outlets to plug in and charge your phone and laptop, and a snack bar that sells wine and cheese. This is the good life!

I like to travel by plane. Always have and always will. It's more convenient, I guess. Easier, faster, and more comfortable.
I have done both numerous times and both long and short trips.
I factor in the time (convenience) and cost considerations 1st and then the reasons for the trip. If there are places along the way to stop and visit, then the car is practical. If it is just a matter of getting from point A to B, then flying is the way to go.
I've done both, and by train also. I prefer the car, so I can stop when I see something interesting. The train was okay, but I only got to stop at the stations along the way. The scenery was nice, and they showed movies in the observation car, so at least I wasn't bored, but the food selection wasn't that great and it was pretty expensive. Six dollars for a plate of spaghetti? No, thanks.
A plane they are always fun to ride
I prefer to be traveling in an airplane and watching the movie........
Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
John Candy was a riot.
Sorry he is dead.
Depends upon the distance and cost of travel. Gas prices are outragous.
I have to make my choice based on cost, unfortunately. When the whole family goes anywhere, we have to take the car. I save money by preparing our meals ahead of time, or cooking on the road. We do "splurge" most of the time and stay in motels, but I also have a full compliment of camping gear.
When there are just one or two traveling, if it's business, we have to take the car to visit the shops, but pleasure, we fly to the folks house, and rent a car while there, because that gives us up to four extra days to visit, instead of driving.
I would love to travel by train if there was one nearby and going to my destination.
automobile
trains. most comfy.
De plane De plane.
(Okay how many of you are old enough to remember Fantasy Island? and reruns on cable don't coun't)
I am a bad traveler..hahah...So I can appriciate that planes get you there faster, but I MUST get up and stretch my legs. I enjoy traveling by car becasue you CAN stop and get out and get some fresh air..
Boats I dont think I would enjoy that very much..I am not a strong swimmer..
planes so much faster.
plane..but I find something really romantic about a train ride.
