I have seen a couple of these threads, and most recommend the train when going from New York to DC but in my case the train is MUCH pricier so I am wondering if you guys think the train is worth a significant premium.

In NY I will be coming from the Bronx about equidistant to JFK and Penn Station. In DC I will be picked up.

The bus is about $25-27. I usually take the bus but it is extremely uncomfortable and as my work schedule gets busier, I am having less and less patience for this trip which makes my relaxing weekend into a more stressful one.

Flying is 4,500 air miles (BA Avios) or $65. It is fast but airport security is a hassle. And I am scared of the flight getting cancelled.

The train is $140 (). The main benefit of the train in addition to the comfort is that it leaves from the Bronx (well New Rochelle, Westchester which is minutes from me) but I don't know if it worth such a high premium over flying

Any thoughts?
Thanks!
