So probably 2 days to make the trip.

 In the US that would have the same problem as cruise ships -- first you
would need to take an airship to a seaport.

If air travel becomes impossible high speed rail would suit the USA perfectly. Plenty of empty space.
I think current top speeds are around 200mph.
