I'm looking into an Ontario-Quebec trip. My travel partner is a nervous flyer, so I'd like to minimize takeoffs and landings. From what I'm seeing there aren't really any fast ground options from the US to or from Montreal, are there? Montreal's a good 300 mi / 500 km from the major airports, which is basically where I can fly nonstop to: New York, Boston, Detroit, and so forth. At this point I'm thinking the best option is to embrace a road trip on either end:
- Fly into NYC
- Drive to Montreal
- Trains to Ottawa and Toronto (probably)
- Drive to Detroit or even Chicago to fly out
Are there any other cross-border transportation options that I may have overlooked?
