??? Takes me nearly an hour to get to the nearest train station, and an
eight hour flight (with layover) Form NY to CA takes more than three days by
train. Flying costs $205 and the train costs $250. No thanks.

I'm confused. You are positing via India with a UK email address with a
US site server.
Next time I'm in India, I'll look you up.

and depending on your length of trip, utilizing a cab may be much
cheaper than parking fees at the airport.

It obviously depends on one's trip destination. If train service is
available, trips under 200 miles can be much quicker (and cheaper) via
train vs. flying, considering three hours is the MINIMUM required to
take any flight..

NY - FL is <200 miles?
It takes me 2+ hrs just to get to the gate (I only live 20 minutes from
the airport).

I am going to NYC in a few weeks. Amtrak costs more and takes several
days instead of several hours.

There is no one size fits all for this. A taxi or shuttle may be
cheaper but if you park your car on the street near your house you may
need someone to move your car for street cleaning or tow away days.

Last year, it took me 32 hrs to fly from Raleigh to Providence. Train
is 16 hrs.
Prov to NY city via train is three hrs (plus 30 minutes to the train
station). I'm lucky to get on the plane within three hrs after
leaving home.
Then again, the frugal approach for me is to drive half way to New Haven
& take the subsidized commuter train at a fraction of the cost of Amtrak
(including 40 cents / mile driving - estimated variable costs).
Some prefer the bus - non stop at a fraction of the Amtrak price and
even faster yet.
As someone pointed out - one size does not fit all.

It will have go up quite a bit to have me spend multiple days of a
vacation traveling.

As long as there is a Southwest, I'll still consider flying.

I wish they flew from SF to Newark. Last time I took Jet Blue,great
trip but needed 4 trains to get to NJ.
This trip I spent too much time trying to save a few dollars. Finally
realized it was not worth hours to save $25.

I have free off-street parking for my little-used (4,000 miles per year)
car at my apartment complex. (I commute by bike - which got even handier
this year now that gasoline is close to $4 per gallon!)
For one thing, I pay a reduced price for getting an exemption from
"emissions inspection" if I get my car inspected at a place that verifies
that I had no years driving that car 5000-plus miles since the most recent
time that the car passed actual testing while I had it registered to me.)
(Please consider also wear-and-tear on cars used for commuting, as in
mileage-related depreciation as well as repairs of blown water pumps,
alternators, starters and aged fuel filters and air filters and maybe
evaporation canisters and ignition wires as well as oil changes and wear
on tires.)
I notify the management at my apartment complex when I am about to spend
much time out-of-town - so far, not at times of years when it can snow
much my way. If they foresee need for my car to move when I will not be
around to move it, I will let them have the keys and a copy of the
insurance card.
When I fly out of town, what I prefer to do is take the local public
transit agency's way to the airport. However, for insane reason my
boyfriend prefers enough for me to take a taxi instead of public mass
transit to the airport to pay my taxi fare on the way there. He usually
drives to the airport personally to take me back home personally when I
get back into town! How sweet he is!!!

If you were going to NYC from where most out-of-state train traffic to
and from NYC occurs, you would know that such most travel into/out-of
NTC from USA "states" other than NY is same-day travel of around 250 miles
or less each way.
As an example - travel between Philadelphia and NYC. Those who know
"The Good Deals" such as the "Chinatown Buses" get from Philly to
Manhattan or back for about $15 or less, maybe $12 or $10 or so. (I have
doubt of $10 being current.)
More-major bus companies have appeared to me to sell online unsold bus
seats between Philly and NYC for a lot less to those flexible enough to
ride particularly scheduled buses that more-need to have seats filled -
maybe a mere couple of bucks each way IIRC.
It does appear to me that a majority of the time travel to/from NYC
to/from Wash-DC and Boston has a fair rate of being best-done by train or
bus or car, unless one has a specific need to hire a helicopter.
So far in my experience, I have done my plenty of travel up and down
USA's "Northeast Corridor" mainly by train, a few times by bus, and once
by helicopter. So far I did so without waiting through security lines.
One thing to consider is that a significant part of airport delay to get
onto major airline flights from major airports is for "checked baggage".

this year a garage sent me a no strings coupon for 7 days parking. I
used it for a 5 day trip. Now they send me half price coupons.

Define "get to the airport":
1. Entering the parking structure?
2. Parking the car?
3. Taxi / loved one dropping you off at the terminal?
4. Entering the terminal?
5. Getting in the TSA line?

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,

Having amassed well over 1M frequent flyer miles, I can assure you I've
been in a lot of airports. I've not flown in / out of JFK much, but
I've flown many in / out of EWR.
Somehow, it's hard to believe you can typically arrive at either airport
30 minutes before departure & still make the flight. I've spent nearly
30 minutes just in the TSA line. May happen occasionally these days,
but I sure would not want to plan for it. I did manage one time to
get a 30-minute cab ride from LGA to Penn station. EWR to Penn station
is typically 30 minutes, just in the bus ride.
Nah - I don't believe you can ever convince me trips <200 miles into
NYC will be faster by plane than train.

Fully agree. However, I've driven there enough to know driving in NYC
isn't worth the bother. It's not so much the driving, but the parking
that's a nightmare.
Along that line, I vividly recall one of my first trips into the city.
We attended a Quincy Jones concert at Symphony Hall. Granted we sat in
cheaper seats way up in an upper balcony, but the parking fee was higher
than the ticket price.
Living in NJ at that time, I would take non stop bus rides that were
faster than driving for about the cost of parking alone. I'll take the
subway any day over driving around the city.

The worst connections I've ever encountered have consistently been in
PHL. I'll pay a premium for flights that avoid that nightmare airport.
Worst examples - One of our sons flew from DC to PVD (non stop both
ways). Due to some snow, his return flight was canceled, but they
rebooked him on a flight with a stopover in PHL. His continuing
flight was canceled & after having to spend the night, finally got home
(luggage lost) about 32 hrs after leaving for the PVD airport. The
other was probably a flight by another son who had his luggage "lost"
both ways, plus had a canceled return flight in PHL where the gate
attendant just walked away at 1am & left everyone stranded with no help
/ no guidance / no rebooking / no room compensation, etc.
I'm not sure I've ever had an on time arrival / departure via PHL. I'm
confident one could probably leave home at the departure time & still
make flights at PHL
