I have some questions: 1. If someone already has a reservation, but has not boarded, can they join AGR and get credit for this trip? 2. If so, can who referred them also get the referral credit of 500 points? 3. I have forgotten how to refer someone to join AGR. Can you refresh my memory...

From RPA As with most of what happens in Washington DC, important developments seem to take place after regular business hours. Last night’s nomination by President Donald Trump is another example of “maybe nobody will notice.” At 7:20PM Eastern last night, our policy staffers learned that...

Have not ridden the CZ. Looking to do so in late March. Chicago to Reno. Flying from Dallas to Chicago.  Good time to go? Looking for hotel recommendation that would be sort of convenient to both Midway and CUS. Also for one in Reno. Thanks in advance!

Considering a trip on the CZ. Likely destination is Reno, NV. Start in Dallas, so the questions are: Should I fly to Chicago to start this trip, or Denver? Would I be mission out on good scenery/things to see on the leg from Chicago to Denver? I have been in Chicago, and saw CUS before the...

Looking at booking trip to Reno, either from Chicago, or the reverse. Which is better for somrthing to see? This will burn the last of my points, and we are looking at going next summer. Any ideas? Or should we go Chi to LA (or reverse). Final destination is not that important. Thanks!

We flew from DAL to MSY on Saturday afternoon. The beginning of a weeklong odyssey. Somehow, the g/f got the free pass ticket through the TSA, while I did not. There was a 70+ year old gentleman in front of me in the “hold your hands up “ scanner, and when he exited, I saw the look on the TSA...

We will be taking the Crescent from NOL to NYP in late August. Spending a few days in NOL area (g/f did her doctoral dissertation on post Katrina communications breakdown and she wants to revisit) and then taking Crescent to NYP for a few days in NYC. Any tips on boarding Crescent, (we are...

So the g/f and I have decided to not go to WAS as the last "zone" trip, but to go to NYP instead. However, we are also adding NOL as the other endpoint. We will either start in NOL or start in NYP, flying to/from one of these. We will only have one week this summer, so we will do a couple days...

Got this email today: Take a friend on a Texas Eagle adventure after the holidays. To celebrate the completion of many track upgrades over the past two years, a special "buy one, get one free" promotion will begin in January on the Texas Eagle. Buy one-get one tickets must be purchased at least...

Looking at a long trip before zones go away. Thinking, maybe, Dal to Mia next summer. Or somewhere else in Florida that has beach. If I take TE to Card to Silver Meteor, we get a few hours in Was.....maybe time to take subway to mall to see Lincoln Memorial? Advice for this possible trip?

If we book this before the AGR 2.0 change in January, can we do a points trip from DAL to WAS or maybe NYP going in sleeper from DAL to SAS, then on to NOL on the SL in a sleeper, overnight on our dime in NOL, and then on the Crescent in a sleeper on to WAS or NYP? If so, would we be able to...

As many know, my former travel companion, The Tejanita, and I have broken up. We enjoyed some excellent adventures on Amtrak together, and those memories will always have a place in my mind and heart. But, now it is time to move on.....the new g/f and I are looking to schedule a points trip...

Not sure of the protocol here, but I wanted to express my best wishes (and those of the Tejanita, too) to all here. Even, or maybe especially, to those who have become annoyed with me, or who simply do not like me. As was said in a different thread, at this time of year, we are all brothers and...

We boarded the Texas Eagle on a Thursday, on time (!) at 3:40 in Dallas for our newest adventure. Margie had just had carpal tunnel surgery four weeks before this, and had meniscus surgery on her knee just the Monday before we left. However, her knee surgeon insisted that we go, he wanted her to...

In Poughkeepsie now, going into NYP. Got a room on west 37th. Any pointers on how to get from Penn Sta to the hotel?

Leaving DAL on TE to CHI, then LSL to NYP. Flying home three days later. AGR roomettes both trains. Fiancé having knee (miniscus) surgery three days before departure. She will be in a knee brace. Any pointers about this trip? Pointers about time in CHI? While in NYC? Pointers about getting from...

Want to get back from DC to DAL in a few weeks on points. Only offered cap ltd & eagle. Why not crescent and SL/ eagle? Is cap ltd a nice ride/ train? Any good scenery?

Trip report for our summer trip. Long, but interesting (I hope): We spent the night Friday night at a Dallas Country Inn, and parked the old Toyota truck there for the duration. Left for the airport on Saturday 8/10 to fly to Las Vegas, via Austin, TX. This was due to the Wright Amendment that...

We will be taking the CS northbound from LAX early next month. We will walk over to LAUS from the Metro Plaza Hotel (thanks to AU'ers for that recommendation!). We will have checked baggage, and carry on also, as we have a roomette. I assume this is like any other station, we go to the desk and...
