What is a good way to travel one way from Austin, TX to Valdosta, GA without a car. See...?

...details....

Are there any trip planners for Gray Hound, Amtrak, or a regional air carrier? Cost is an issue, but safety and comfort are too.|||It's really easy to find Austin to Valdosta options on a single carrier; e.g., Greyhound. It's just under 1,000 miles, so this is a very long bus ride for as low as $77.



But, you may find this more attractive. Fly Southwest Airlines from Austin to Jacksonville for as low as $106 and then hop on a 2-hr Greyhound bus to Valdosta for as low as $15.50. Obviously, this will be contingent on your being able to synchronize your flight with your bus without overnighting.



As you know, pricing depends on when you travel and on how far in advance you book.|||You can take Amtrak from Austin, the Texas Eagle down to San Antonio then the Sunset Limited east to New Orleans, but since Katrina, you can't go further east on Amtrak http://www.texaseagle.com/schedules.htm shows connecting schedules on left.


Southwest Airlines may be a choice.


Greyhound (not Gray Hound) has limited service South of Dallas and I don't know what they do these days going east from Austin.|||I would say any sort of bus company would be the best as they are cheaper than train or flights. If you want to be a real hero, just carry a personal tent in a hiking backpack and just trek out by foot it only takes about 12 days or so.

2) Amtrak, get on in Houston, stay on Sunset Ltd in new Orleans, get off in Jacksonville, catch a local bus.
