Re: Great Lakes Central Passenger TC

Delta offers several r/t flights from Detroit daily. 35 minute flight vs how many hours on a train?? TC is really growing on the air side of things, not rail. Aside from the usual winter non-stop routes: Detroit: Delta Chicago: American United Minneapolis: Delta Phoenix: Allegiant Orlando: Allegian...
