Last fall my wife and I had what was then a deluxe bedroon, now bedroom, on the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle, and then a Cascade down to Portland, total cost about $650 for both of us, one way.
She enjoyed the trip so much we thought we'd try another one this coming fall. I am thinking of Sacramento to Chicago one way. I have frequent flyer miles for the other half I need to use before they expire.
I just priced the bedroom for us in September and it was over $1000.
Have the prices gone up that much? Is it the route that makes the difference?
Anyone else noticing price increases of this magnitude?
I could get a roomette for about $600 with my senior discount making it about the same as last year.
Just wondering what the thought is about this.
I am taking the Cardinal from NYP to IND next Friday/Saturday so if anyone else is on that train, let me know.
