Did that save you any time?

I figure getting to the airport would be at least 45 minutes and possibly longer depending on traffic and you have to be at the airport at least 60-90 minutes for security, etc. The flight is about 90 minutes. And then you have to take a cab to the city.

The train ride is 3 to 3.5 hours.
