Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it.

I seriously think airlines are a sham after riding a bunch of trains.
On a train:
Seats are massive. First class wasn't like 5x the ticket price. No charge for luggage. No wack-ass TSA giving you conflicting rules about if you should keep your shoes/belts on or not. You want to rent a room so you can sleep, do it. You wanna jog from one end to another? Sure.
Unfortunately in America, trains don't fully connect to most places. And because of the price, attracts some real skeevos who leave the place a mess. In most other countries, my god. It's beautiful.
yeah i find it very irresponsible from OP to not take the train from the US to UK
For some god-forsaken reason, planes are often cheaper
I don't disagree but it's really hard to find a train from New York to London.
