Going from Chicago to Sea in October and prefer a bedroom for the trip. Back in the old days of AGR distance charts, I almost exclusively traveled in bedrooms because I earned ample points with my business spending on amex and chase cards.
Obviously those days are over and we'll it's roomettes mostly these days
I have basically enough saved up and with the buy points promo decided to splurge on the bedroom for this trip (traveling with GF on her first ever trip on a train) and went to book and sure enough no availability
What is available is Chi to SpK in a bedroom and Spk to Sea in a roomette. Of course this all happens at like 140AM. The Empire Builder is one of the only LD trains I haven't been on so am unfamiliar about the switch in SPK.
Has anyone here ever moved rooms in in SPK? Am I crazy to consider splitting up the trip bedroom and roomette? Besides the inconvenience of having to move it looks like it is just as expensive which is a bummer too.
Any thoughts on what I should do?
