Hehe, I always had a sleeper from CHI, so it was never an issue there. ;)

Are the LD trains typically in the same track from day to day?

How hard is PHL to navigate?

Sorcha, you look FANTASTIC!

And when I call, I should still be able to use those points for the entire trip, not just part, right?

Just tried to book the Harrisburg to Atlanta part with redeeming my 5,500 points, but it says it can't be completed online and to call. Is that normal?? Or will I have to book the Harrisburg to Philly part separately?

Ahh, got it. I'm so glad you guys are here. I've been stressing about this trip since the bf and I planned it back in February. I just bought my first home late last year, and learning to truly budget better has been stressful. Then my hours got cut at work. So, I'm trying to cut corners...

Even a two-zone would be cheaper if I bought the points from the look of it.

If that works, I will love you forever.

I really wanted to go into Chattanooga rather than straight to Atlanta, but... Anyway, is this what you were thinking of: https://amtrakguestrewards.com/redeem/amtrakTravel/a33570 ?

Either the Harrisburg -> Philly or vice-versa.

As it stands now, I have about 4k points, just enough to cover one part of the trip.

Oh, I'm not saying it's not a good deal. I've done sleepers before and they're definitely worth the price. It's just unfortunately not in the budget.

And since I'm here...what's the deal with "unreserved tickets"?

I wish I had sleeper tickets, but the current going rate for a roomette is $419. Definitely out of the budget.
