Club Acela use

[Special K]

We are travelling from Winter Haven, FL to Cleveland via Washington, DC. We will have a roomette from WTH to WAS. Does that allow us to use the Club Acela in DC? We have coach seats to CLE.

Yes!

As long as you have a same day sleeper either arriving or departing a city with a lounge, you are entitled to use that lounge!

 

[Dovecote]

Yes!

As long as you have a same day sleeper either arriving or departing a city with a lounge, you are entitled to use that lounge!

Just to add, you must present your WTH>WAS ticket stub to the CA attendant in order to get into the lounge. So don't misplace it or throw it away! You can also arrange for a Redcap for your connecting train with the CA attendant if you so desire.

Thank you for your replies. I thought that was the policy but wasn't sure.

I'm confused as always. Is Club Acela the same as Metropolitan Lounge?

Can I use the Club Acela Lounge in New York Penn if I have a sleeper ticket, or do I need a first class Acela ticket to use the Club Acela Lounge?

That is confusing.

Yes, Club Acela is the same as Metropolitan Lounge. Amtrak uses different names for its lounges in different areas of the country.

You can use the Club Acela lounge in NY, if you have a sleeper ticket for that day (or the day before because sleepers are overnight) even if the sleeper doesn't start or stop in NY.

They are basically the same. They are called "Club Acela' in BOS, NYP, PHL and WAS (because that is where Acela operates) and Metropolitan Lounges elsewhere. And yes, you can use either if you have a sleeper on either an arriving or departing train!

Or if you happen to be AGR Select Plus.

Was the Club Acela rebranded from the Metropolitan Lounge when Warrington did mass rebranding of NEC services?

Yes, the NEC lounges became "Club Acela" after Acela Ezpress started running!
