I have booked the trip HBG-NOL-LAX-SAN. I was planning to drive to HBG and leave my car there. But now I changed my mind and I want to fly to NOL instead and board in NOL. Can I simply skip the HBG-NOL segment without notifying Amtrak? My concern is that my trip was booked with AGR points using...

My friend booked a trip (coach) on NE Regional a month ago and few days ago he wanted to move it for 1 day. He thought that the easiest way is to cancel his reservation online and buy a new one. So when he cancelled it - he didn't get refund, but the "voucher" instead. He was told that this...

Do you know anything about long-term parking at Hammond, LA station? Is it safe area? Does it have free parking?

Only 1 roomette is available for NOL-LAX 07/01/13 - 11 months in advance!!! All bedrooms and family bedrooms are sold out. What does it mean???

My trip to CVS from TPA on 06/29 ended up getting to CVS at 3:30am instead of 9:50pm. I understand it was because of damage cause by bad storm. Now I thought - maybe I could get some compensation for that? At least some AGR points? (my trip was paid by AGR points) Or it's worthless idea?

I am planning this trip for the next year: NOL-LAX; LAX-GPK; GPK-CHI-NOL. I know that parking in NOL is not free. Do you know what the fee is and how safe the parking is? My other idea is to start and finish trip in HBG (Hattiesburg) because I pay with AGR points anyway. Anybody has any...

We will be connecting in Richmond, VA to southbound Meteor, so we'll have about 5 hours to kill (4:40-9:50pm) if we are not very late from Cardinal. Any ideas what to do on Sunday evening with 2 kids? I realize that the station is not in the city. But we are Ok with taxi or bus ride. The...

I am wondering - how scenic was Sunset Ltd. East route? I realize that most of the time it was like other Florida trains - nothing special, but still - did it have something interesting to see?

I am planning to ride Cardinal through New River Gorge next summer and I decided to start it Charleston, WV. Now I am thinking - maybe I should start it in Huntington, WV? Huntington departure is too early - 7:10am. How is the area between Huntington and Charleston? Does it worth riding?

If I board southbound Crescent at Charlottesville (8:50pm) - will I get dinner?

I am just wondering - if I miss my connection - how do I get rebooked for the next train? Should I go to the ticket office at the station and they will try to rebook me? Or I need to call 1-800 number and ask them to do that? Can I call Amtrak to rebook me if my train has not arrived yet, but...

I understand that Cardinal to Silver Meteor is not guaranteed connection because layover in WAS is only 1:25, but this connection can be done in Alexandria and in this case the layover is 2:20. Is there any rule regarding determination of guaranteed connections? I called AGR asking them to do...

We did a trip recently Merced-LAX-CHI-NOL on 7/10 (sleepers were sold out on Sunset Ltd, so we went through CHI, thanks to the person who cancelled their SWC trip on 7/10). We checked-in our baggage in Merced. The guy was looking at our AGR tickets to NOL like it was a miracle from another...

I am planning our October trip and we will be returning from CVS to WAS and then to TPA. I have an option to rent a car and drive to Lynchburg and board there instead of CVS. Is it worth doing? How is the area between LYH and CVS? Is it somewhat scenic or nothing special? I will be riding...

Bus 5802 arrives to LAX at 2:30pm and Sunset departs at 3pm, is it too close? Is it possible that bus is late and I will miss my Sunset and will be stuck in LA for several days? I don't really want to drive 2.5 hrs, but if there is a chance to miss Sunset I will probably drive instead. I...

We are travelling GPK-CHI-NOL in 2 weeks. I just checked that EB is constantly late recently, today it arrived 17 (!) hours later, so our chance to be late for the next train is very high. We are travelling with 2 kids in Family Bedroom, if they move us for the next day it's Ok, but I noticed...

I have printed tickets for 2 segment trip: first is coach, second - sleeper (bought for AGR points). Can I skip the first segment and start my trip from the second? Won't they cancel my 2nd segment if I don't board on the 1st? Changing the reservation doesn't make sense because it's the same...

Why does one of 2 Niagara Falls-NYP trains have departure at ridiculous time - 3:40am? I can't imagine anybody using it as well as 4am and 5am departures from Buffalo and Rochester.

With a new adjustment in Silver Meteor schedule Amtrak could create a new connection to Ft.Myers-Tampa-Orlando bus. Meteor from MIA arrives to Orlando at 1:23pm and bus to Tampa and Ft.Myers is leaving at 1:30pm. It also works in the other direction (bus arrives at 12:55 and southbound Meteor...

I know that H room may become available for general purchase if it's not sold for handicaps like 7 days before departure. But is it possible to get it using AGR points? I wonder because we need a family bedroom for family of 4 and they are very limited (huge mistake of car designers!) so they...
