    Hello, Has anyone had experience booking a roommette with one person on points and then gone back and added another at a later date? I am assuming it would have to be with points? Thanks in advance

    Planning travel - Pittsburgh area to Denver area August 2020

    Hello Mary! I too reside in Pittsburgh and have taken the train out west to Denver and I wanted to chime in. I’ll just say in my opinion I would get a roomette on the Capitol as by the time you awake you’ll be in Chicago but if you can do a bedroom on the zephyr, I would. In terms of delay...

    Questions (Amtrak vs Greyhound, DEN to ORL)?

    I just want to add make sure you’re both booked in a lower level coach for your ride from Denver to Chicago to accommodate the power chair and comfort kits should also be available at the station if you wish to purchase.

    Train #1000

    While awaiting at 30th street station to board the Pennsylvanian, I noticed on the departure board a train #1000 “test route” bound for Abescon, NJ. Did I miss a possible expansion of regional service to the Atlantic City area?

    Lower Price for Lower Level?

    So, I booked a ticket for a friend on the chief WLO-LAX coach and then LAX-BUR. It was actually cheaper so we chose that level of services but he was booked into a lower level coach, which is less desirable to him. I called and was told it would be $30 to sit upstairs. Has anyone heard of...

    ClubAcela Lounge Access for Business Class?

    That is true, on the NEC, you must be Acela First class or Sleeper Class to use the lounge, but anywhere else in the country, a business class seat gets you access.

    Roomette 'flash sale' (ended December 11)

    Here is a question: I am taking a trip in January with my cousin and he is eight. In order to take advantage of the sale, it must be an adult fare. Would they allow him to travel on an adult fare ticket as long as he is accompanied by myself, an adult?

    Amfleet I Cafe/Club lighting way too bright at night

    Overnight business class is still sort of a new thing. Before, overnight trains just had coach and sleepers.

    Westbound Zephyr consist numbering

    On the CS, I suggest taking a look at a roomette as I have gotten one for $120 before and by the time you include meals, it may be worth the investment. Sent from my iPhone using Amtrak Forum
