Last year my first trip HOU to UTI I paid $166 for one way senior coach. Same trip this year is $269, I think I'd rather fly.

I road coach from Longview to Chicago, train was full. My seatmate was okay, we talked a lot. But I couldn't get comfortable, I'm used to sleeping in a recliner so that wasn't a problem. It was the train horn all night long, seams like TX has a lot of crossings. Next leg was Chicago to Utica NY...

I had no problem opening the link.

Yes I got one after my trip to Utica NY.

I had a 7 hour layover in Chicago, it sure was nice staying in the lounge. Plus I took a shower after being on the train overnight. And I had another night ahead of me, I traveled in coach. Someone was nice enough to give me pass.

When I was first interested in traveling I checked the prices for coach from Houston to Amsterdam NY. I started with about 6 months out, $128 one way senior fare. When I finally pulled the plug it was $166. I bought my ticket and had my first trip. I'm thinking about doing it again but now the...

Not the first one in the area, I lived near there over 20 years ago. In fact my Amtrak trip this past summer Amsterdam was my destination.

I used the cafe on two occasions as I was traveling coach. One morning the female attendant was very helpful as the credit card scanner wasn't working correctly. She was patient and friendly. Next morning I wasn't even greated by male attendant, "want your bagel heated". Told him no, I didn't...

One thing I noticed traveling from Longview to Chicago was hearing the horn, a lot of road crossings. Then from Chicago to Utica NY, didn't notice the horn so much. Both trips were through the night.

No additional fees for the last leg.

It's a one way and last leg. @OBS thanks for your reply.

Adventure starts Monday, first leg Houston to Longview on a bus. Then to Chicago overnight. Followed by overnight to Utica NY, I originally bought a ticket to Amsterdam NY, with a two hour layover my brother is picking me up in Utica. Should I inform Amtrak I'm not getting back on?

Thank you that explains it.

I've read that when you make a reservation in coach you are assigned a seat. No where on my downloaded ticket do I see a seat assignment. I know when I booked the trip I chose upper level. Will I be assigned a seat when I check in at the terminal?

I have a two night coach ticket, getting on in Longview TX to Chicago. I booked upper level, will I be assigned a seat? I see only lower level seats are available if you book today. I'm assuming all the upper level are sold.

The train I'm on coming up in June, coach seats only have lower level open. Looks like I'll have a companion seated next to me upper level.

I see you posted at 2:27 am, can't sleep?

You can't pick your family or your neighbors, I have fingers crossed I'll have an empty seat on my trip to NY.
