Is flexible a better seating on lake shore limited? Why is it double the cost?
No. They state that seats are limited for all fare categories, but it seems that only the Saver fares sell out before an entire train sells out. I'd imagine very few passengers use the Flexible fare.Does a situation ever exist where a flexible seat is the only available?
That's incorrect. There are 4 fare buckets for each train, plus any Saver fares that might be available. The Flexible is the highest of the 4, while the Value is whatever bucket the train is currently selling at. A full train where only the high bucket fares remain, would show only Flexible fares available.No. They state that seats are limited for all fare categories, but it seems that only the Saver fares sell out before an entire train sells out.

Understood. I've had limited experience with flexible fare. I rarely see it as an option on Capitol Corridor, and I'm thinking it's typically not offered. Why anyone would pay double (when unreserved tickets aren't void for a no show) puzzles me though, and I'm pretty sure almost nobody would pay for it on CC.That's incorrect.

Remember, this is the same company that offered flexible fares for more than 50% OVER Business Class fares on our last trip from Cary to DC.Understood. I've had limited experience with flexible fare.

I don't really see the problem with that. Some companies might require employees to book refundable tickets but forbid premium class travel.Remember, this is the same company that offered flexible fares for more than 50% OVER Business Class fares on our last trip from Cary to DC.
