I have a couple of companion coupons and upgrade coupons I'd like to use before they expire at the end of February. My wife and I are taking a trip to New York in early January (Fri-Sunday). I've looked at he conditions on the coupons, but I still have a couple of questions.
The companion coupon is good for coach only. Does that mean it can't be used for a ride on the Acela Express?
They're showing a $49 Saver fare between BAL-NYP (or at least they were the last time I looked). Does the companion coupon apply to the Saver fare?
Another thing I might want to do is take the Acela Express and use the upgrade coupons to ride First class. I know we would ave to buy 2 Acela fares, as the companion coupons can't be combined with the upgrade coupons. You can't use the upgrade until 48 hours before departure. If we ride back on Sunday Jan 8 in the afternoon or early evening, what are the chances of available space? Any particular trains to look or or avoid?
Thanks in advance for the answers. I should probably start booking soon, Though Jan 6-8 seems to be a slow time for New York travel, as we found a $300 hotel room for $120.
