yes it takes like 5 hours longer to get from new york to montréal this way but the views are gorgeous, the baggage limits more reasonable, i don’t get the awful piercing headaches and panicked fear of death i get from flying, and nobody is yelling at me to take off my shoes or throw away my shampoo
