What's the cheapest way to go to from new york to chicago? By plane, bus, train or a car?

Travel Tips
This is inconvenient, but to save money, I used to take Amtrak from NYC to the closest airport served by Southwest Airlines, and then fly on Southwest.

Southwest flies out of BWI (Baltimore-Washington) which is not a bad ride on Amtrak. They fly out of Islip where it takes a long time to get on the LIRR (but it's a cheap long inconvenient LIRR ride). They've started flying out of someplace in Connecticut (like, I think it's Hartford?) and maybe that would be the best option.

Or, you can take Amtrak from NY to Chicago.

Others
bus. greyhound.
walk
Bus might be cheaper but check American Airlines they sometimes have a fare for around $89.
JETBLUE AIRWAYS !!!
My husband and I drove from Chicago to NYC...along the way back then (2004) gas wasn't so bad and it was a scenic route...but once we got into NYC it was a nightmare.

Best bet is probably train or bus.

BUT, if you book a ticket on southwest 14 days in advance you can them cheap too.
