I just phoned AGR re a proposed trip that my two Amtrak converts and I wanted to book before the rules change.
I was told that CZ to sb CS is no longer allowed on a single AGR award; it would require two 1-zone awards. This used to be covered under the AGR exceptions (alternate direct route for sleeper award, and 23.5 hour).
We are not at the point of booking, so I did not ask for a supervisor. Just wondering if what I was told is correct now. I knew the CZ-CS was no longer a published route, but I thought it was still covered by the AGR exceptions for sleeper awards. (See locked thread at the top of this forum for a review of those.)
Also, unrelated to the above: Would a Pacific Surfliner run from LA to San Diego be a nice addition for three sight-seers? We were thinking of adding that and flying back from San Diego instead of from LA if it's worthwhile.
As always, many thanks!
