I'd like to hear opinions on this. I'm scheduled to fly from Albany (NY) to Chicago on Tuesday, stay overnight and take the Texas Eagle the next day. I'm flying through Washington, and it looks like I'd be flying right through the remnants of Florence on midday flights, which are prone to getting cancelled if they get backed up. And since I'm using miles to fly, I'd be low on the list of people they re-accommodate.
The option is to dump the flight and instead take the LSL Tuesday night and arrive Wednesday morning. There still seems to be plenty of seats, and some low-end (cost-wise) roommettes. But the train might also be traveling through the leftovers of Florence, though perhaps only on the fringe, and who's to say Amtrak doesn't scrub the train to avoid flooding. Or it comes in too late to catch the Eagle.
I've got to make this decision in the next 24 hours or so or my options disappear on things like canceling the hotel room. Thoughts?
