    Every time I take an airplane, I feel tired and worn out. I don’t want to do anything for the rest of the day except take a nap.

    Trains are no problem.

    The main reasons might be relatively low oxygen at altitude (cabins are usually pressurized somewhere between 1/3rd to 1/2 atmosphere) and uncomfortable seats. But I think the whole dreary process of getting on and off the airplane is part of it, too. Train stations are so much more low key, even in large metropolitan areas.

      You also don’t have to show up 2 hours in advance to a train station and plan your entire day(or two) around a trip.
