Blech.
I can redeem two 15,000 pt rewards for a nice RT up and down the NEC in a roomette - but I can only get as far as New York (without going back towards Chicago on the LSL). Could never get more than a single night onboard. Rest of any trip - if it were even a legal reservation - on anything else up to BOS, MTL, anywhere in Vermont or Maine would be a wasted use of points because I would get only Business Class, at best.
On the other hand, I can travel all the way to Albuquerque, El Paso, Denver or Wolf Point for a mere 33% more redemption for 3 nights onboard!
Amtrak needs more sleepers going through Vermont and Maine, as well as on the Maple Leaf and the Adirondack.
Better transfers in NYP would be nice, too.
Yes - none of this will happen. No eqiupment. No money. I don't mind a nice R/T to ABQ, but don't think my wife would hack it much.
