    Redcaps at LAUS when Flyaway Bus arrives?

    It is nice to know that there is a "plan" to get a redcap to the Flyaway stop. It sounds as though, as usual, the "plan" doesn't always seem to work. It may be less of a hassle to just catch SuperShuttle from the airport. I did see an offer of a "execu car" for @$45 .. less stress and drop...

    Redcaps at LAUS when Flyaway Bus arrives?

    Thank you for all of your responses. We'll have a roomette on the CS to Seattle ... so we plan on catching the Flyaway to the station early in the morning. We may just have to walk VERY SLOWLY!

    Redcaps at LAUS when Flyaway Bus arrives?

    Is it possible to have a redcap come to the Flyaway LAUS arrival point? I realize that they wouldn't want to wait there for the bus to arrive, but am wondering if there is a phone, or person who would be able to call one. We have never used an Amtrak redcap, but unfortunately, this trip we...

    Help! first time riding train

    I like to memorize the 2 stops before I am to get off ... then I know how much time I have to get ready before my stop. The time between stations, that is listed on the timetable, gives you a good indication of the time you have left. Have a great trip!

    Coast Starlight trip

    Another vote for 2 roomettes. We have done the CS 7+ times. The first time was the bedroom, but from then on 2 roomettes. This way no one needs to sleep on the top bunk ... no climbing! As said, you have views from both sides of the train, but can still sit together when you like. The shower...
