I had already started taking train trips more often than flying, but now I'm really avoiding flying. If I have to go anywhere in France, Germany, Switzerland Belgium, the Netherlands and ESPECIALLY England, I take the train now. I may start to add more countries to that list.

I've got a frequent traveler card for the Eurostar, SNCF and the Thalys. I've already redeemed several free first class tickets. The trains are more aggresively marketing to business travelers who would otherwise take a flight. I think the airlines have lost a lot of short-haul revenue that they may never get back.
