I think there are two kinds of people: Those who fly often and those who fly a few times a year.
Regular flyers know their airports, the days and vacation times. Then you can reduce to 30 minutes airport time.
If you only fly a few times a year or don't know the airport well and are traveling during the vacation season, you have to play it safe.
Then 1 hour of flight time can quickly add up to 4-6 hours.
However, as long as airplane fuel is subsidized, few people will pay twice as much for trains, even if they are just as fast or faster and much more comfortable.

Airplane fuel is subsidized? I thought it was taxed in the US.
