The above quote was taken from a discussion in a trip review. I did not want to hijack the writer's post, so . . . . . . . . .Happy to hear that you were impressed with train travel and you will be a repeat passenger. In regard to the "small" waiting area in CHI, it sounds like you did not use the Metropolitan Lounge on your return trip to St. Paul. You were entitled to stay in the lounge since you arrived into CHI on the CONO in a sleeper car. If this happens again just show your ticket stub, which indicates you were in a sleeping car, to the lounge attendant. The boarding process from the Metropolitan Lounge is well organized and usually occurs before coach boarding in the station waiting area.
My question: Am I to understand that if I have a sleeper car berth (ticket), I am allowed to use the Lounges on Amtrak? My trip to DFB starts in BOS on a regional train (coach). I have a roomette on the SM from NYP. Can I use the "lounges" in both BOS & NYP?
