Funny that this topic should come up because I looked into this a bit on Saturday when I was at the Trenton Transit Center to take NJ Transit to Newark for an event. It was about the same time that the Crescent was supposed to be passing through on its way from New Orleans to NY Penn. Out of curiosity, I looked at how long it would take from Trenton to New Orleans and the answer was 29h15m. It was also over $1K R/T for a sleeper. I admit, I looked at last minute prices but from Trenton I can get to four airports that have non-stop flights (five when Spirit starts up from Atlantic City) so I've got plenty of flying options. Losing a whole day to get there just doesn't seem to work for me.
