You want to pay $259 for a ticket from EU to US? Good, glad you found a good deal, but don't in any way, shape, or form expect more than $259 worth of service. Want GREAT service? Pay $1500 for the same trip, or $10,000 if you want to sit in business.

Ummm...I remember at one time paying for 199 dollars for a round trip from VA to CA on USAir (when it was called that). I got food, leg room, and free headphones for movies.

You can get on Amtrak...Get a private room and pay 1000 dollars (a family)...get free food water, no charge for luggage, free meals, and your own shower.
When I vacation I vacation....so what if I am on their for 3 days.

Can you imagine if Amtrak would go high speed...Not only greener but, more enjoyable?

I do wish we had trains like Europe.

I guess you don't want to hear that Justme because, you maybe out of a job.
