Yeah, But Do They Serve Peanuts?

I’m in the process of planning two extremely different trips. One is my trans-Siberian odyssey. The other is a weekend trip to Vegas in April. And here’s an interesting thing I discovered: According to the Man in Seat Sixty-One site, it’s theoretically possible to travel between Moscow and Beijing--a journey of about 5,000 miles as the iron rooster flies--for as little as $200.

The lowest Travelocity round-trip fare for travel between Oakland and Las Vegas--a journey of 549 miles?

$271.
