I'm thinking of making the following one-way, one zone AGR points trip.
If/when I call to book my trip, is it possible to do family rooms only for the part I would be really only using? Since the short portion of the Empire Builder trip from Portland to Vancouver WA or wherever I get off is just kind of a technicality to satisfy the loophole, I don't really need a room for that short time. Will AGR be OK with booking it like that, if the family rooms are not available? Besides, I wouldn't want to hog a fam room if we aren't even going to use it, anyway.
So, I am checking out availability of family rooms for the trip. I find several days for which the SW Chief and Coastal Starlight have family rooms available, but the Empire Builder does not.Kansas City to Portland, OR. Book the tickets for KCY-WPT. Ride the Empire Builder for one stop so your tickets are collected and get turned in then catch the next train back to PDX or cab or whatever. Only check bags to PDX.
