I'll add my horror story  to  the  list.   I  took  People's
Express  from Ithaca, New York to Boston via Newark.  It was
"Super Sunday", and I made plans  so  that  I  would  arrive
hours  before  the opening kick off.  After numerous hassles
and delays, I finally made it into Logan to hear  the  final
minutes  of  the first quarter on the car radio.  The reason
for the lateness was delays in Newark. I  ended  up  leaving
three  flights after the one upon which I was scheduled.  My
net savings by flying People's over some  reputable  carrier
was  about  twenty  bucks.   Whoops...I  had to check a bag.
Make that about eighteen bucks.

So the moral of the story is if it's worth taking the chance
of  being faced with hours of frustrations and inferior ser-
vice for the sake of a few dollars, then  fly  Peoples.   If
you  want  to save even more money and have a more enjoyable
trip with fewer delays and hassles, take the train.

To be fair, there is one good thing I can say about People's
Express.   They spared me the agony of having to sit through
the Superbowl.
