For people who have back pain and cannot sit, the train is the way to go. I take Amtrak whenever I would go to Florida. I get the H car so I can lay down throughout the ride but still have room to walk around in the cabin. You need to show your disability ID card to get this room.
I hate flying anyway. I just dont feel safe anymore, from a security point of view to a maintainance view, to an air traffic control POV. There is mandatory retirement coming up for all the air traffic workers replaced during the Reagan administration strike. There will be a BUNCH of new air traffic controllers filling jobs and that's one learning curve that I choose not to be a part of.

Plus the food on trains is way better...at least in America.
