	I have to travel between Denver and Kansas City frequently--here's
what I came up with:

	Amtrak		I would have to go through Chicago(!!), so I
			didn't check further.  It might be a good deal
			otherwise.

	Greyhound	$65		15-16 hrs.

	Trailways	$69		    "

	Continental	$75 (off peak)	1 1/2 hrs.
	Airlines	$95 (peak)

	United		$95 (Super-Saver)   "
	Airlines	$204 (Coach)
			$266 (First Class)

	So, for $10 & a little caution, I cut my travel time by AN
ORDER OF MAGNITUDE.  (O.k., a lot of caution, some people got burned
pretty bad by Continental last fall.)

	One last flame (apologies to those of you reading this in
net.followup):  Continental used to be a GREAT airline until Alonzo
came along--some people just have a reverse Midas Touch.
