Phx has grown so much that Maricopa is now like a suburb. For a long time if you were trying to get to Phx, Flagstaff was the closet you could get so at least you can get closer to Phx now. I hadn't thought about the time that the trains would arrive. Since the Sunset Limited and the Texas...

Hi I am not wanting to use the voucher for any part of the room. If I pay for my rail fare, then to me I should be able to use the voucher for his rail fare. Then I would be paying for the room. The charge for the room would be the same whether he was with me or not. Ceilidh

Thanks. I agree with you. I will try calling back tomorrow. Since the rail fare is charged separtely it doesn't seem fair that I shouldn't get his rail fare for free. I am not trying to get any part of the room for free, but since there is no extra charge for two people in a room it seems to me...
