| Feb 3, 2023 at 21:13 | comment | added | gerrit | There's also Paris to Saint Pierre. It's a bit longer (6:30 westbound, 5:35 eastbound), but even more of an adventure to take a domestic transatlantic flight :) | |

| Feb 28, 2017 at 13:11 | comment | added | Michael Seifert | @mzu: Then you are a good friend indeed. However, keep in mind that the driving time is substantial (17 hours to from DC to Halifax, and 38 hours to St. John's, according to Google Maps). | |
| Feb 28, 2017 at 2:18 | comment | added | mzu | @DavidRicherby, not an issue in this particular case. | |
| Feb 28, 2017 at 2:08 | comment | added | mzu | @MichaelSeifert, in this case I will likely meet them there and drive them all the way to DC. Small adventure included | |
| Feb 28, 2017 at 1:38 | comment | added | David Richerby | @MichaelSeifert And, in particular, two additional days of ground travel which, on the return journey, will mostly be spent thinking, "Crap, I have to get on another plane." It's hard to believe that this absolute focus on minimizing time in the air is the right approach. | |
| Feb 28, 2017 at 1:36 | comment | added | Michael Seifert | Note that St. John's does not have scheduled rail service. Accessing the North American continent from there via ground transportation would require a 14-hour bus (coach) ride to Port-Aux-Basques, a 7-hour ferry crossing from Port-Aux-Basques to North Sydney, and a 4–5-hour bus ride from North Sydney to Truro. (Additional ferry connections exist during the summer, but do not shave off that much time.) The person in question would have to weigh the level of their phobia, but the trade-off here is basically 1–2 hours of additional flying time vs. two additional days of ground travel. | |
