Good evening from Europe. I will be taking Amtrak train during my trip to the USA this summer. I have booked tickets as follows. San Diego to Los Angeles on Pacific Surliner, Los Angeles to Santa Barbara on Coast Starlight and Santa Barbara to Los Angeles on Pacific Surfliner. Website is hard for me to follow fully the informations on luggage. I see symbol for checked luggage. We will have a large suitcase each and also the small overhead size bag each so I would greatly like to make sue of this service to check the bag.
Could you tell me please how to do this. How I can collect bags when we get off the train and where I do this. Do I need to arrive much time in advance at the station. It is confusing me, this service I have not encountered here.
Also I have used the discount from Santa Barbara Car Free so I have tickets at low price, unreserved coach. I can still use checked luggage, yes? It is not like airline where low price ticket means I must pay the extra fee to check. Also please will I need to tip anybody.
Thank you.
