[QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [QB] Chiming in with this even though I'm late to dinner too - Agree with all who say plan to arrive the day before your cruise departs......safer all the way around.....even though the Southwest Chief is a far better performer in terms of on-time arrival. Cheap flight to rail possibilities - I like flying to Albuquerque and catching the Southwest Chief from there. You might be able to save major dollars by driving to the airports in either Indianapolis or Louisville and flying Southwest Airlines to Albuquerque.....or even going all the way to Chicago Midway. Once you get to Albuquerque, it is a relatively small, clean, attractive airport. There is a CITY BUS which for $1 or $2 and 30 minutes tops will take you from the airport to their downtown transit center (Alvarado Transit Center). The transit center is NEXT DOOR to the combined Albuquerque Amtrak and Greyhound station. They are kind of security conscious at ABQ and I believe that only ticketed passengers are allowed into the waiting area....a plus for a female traveller. Finally, if taking the city bus from the airport to Amtrak is Albuquerque is more than you want to try, the ABQ airport is only 5-6 miles from downtown. It would be a quick and not horribly expensive cabride. FINAL REASON for preferring Albuquerque - the train departs at a daylight hour and not during the middle of the night like in Tucson.
