No big difference is involved in door-to-door travel time.
It is true that a flight is shorter than rail travel, but you need to arrive at the airport 2 hours in advance to board the flight; also, airports in both cities are a little bit far away from the downtown area. If travel to the airport and boarding time are added, rail travel time is not really longer than flight travel time.
