First off, I apologize if this is the wrong board for this topic, but I figure it's about as good as any.
Secondly, I live near London, ON. I'm going to be attending CMR St-Jean next year, and I was wondering about the most cost effective/fastest/either or, way of getting home for holidays and such.
I've looked into planes, trains, and automobiles.
So far what I've come up with is flying into Windsor from Montreal, then taking a train to London from there for about $550-650 (500-600 for plane, 45 for train) and a total travel time of roughly 4 hours.
Also looked into taking a train from Montreal to Stratford, which would be about $110 and 7.5 hours each way, or to London which would be about 8.5 hours and $125 each way.
Last, and definitely least, the dreaded Greyhound. This will take at minimum 11 hours. This will cost about $90 with student discount, or $120 with Military discount.
This is just the research I've put into this. If there are other methods which someone could maybe share with me, it would be greatly appreciated. I understand that being away from home is one of the aspects of being in the military, but it would absolutely be nice to be able to come home and visit with my family.
Also note that travel times are each way, as well as the price of the flight. Train/bus fares are each way.
