New York → Miami · Amtrak Silver Meteor (overnight)
New York → Miami
Board after work and let the Silver Meteor roll the whole East Coast while you sleep: Washington, the Carolinas, Savannah, Orlando, then Miami the next afternoon. From ~$90 in a reclining seat — and none of the airport lines the flight would charge you anyway.

Sleeper passengers eat free in the dining car — the only proper white-tablecloth meal left in US transport.
The train terminates at Miami Airport station: the MIA Mover takes you to the terminal, one Tri-Rail/Metrorail hop to downtown.
Pack an eye mask: coach aisles keep low lights on all night, and Florida arrives bright at 7 a.m.
