Airlines will always favor over the bus. Yeah, in the tough economic times some people do not have $200 to fly so they spend 2-3 hours driving through the windy snoqualmie pass with the chance of long traffic delays or even pass closures. I would rather get on a Q400, be given a drink of my choice, and watch as the gorgeous cascades pass below me. Not to mention seeing Mount Rainier. I sure do miss the North West and the west coast... now you got me depressed! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
