You have deliberately booked coach with the sole intention of getting a free upgrade for a portion of your journey, this is doing Amtrak out of $$$ and as Amtrak is funded by US tax payers you are ultimately attempting to scroung a free upgrade off your fellow tax payers.No idea whatsoever. So I didn't even consider checking the Roomette to Davis.From the original post,
Do you have any idea why you could not book your roomette to Colfax? That seems odd.The online reservation system wouldn't let me book the Roomette fro DEN to Colfax so I could stay in the Roomette to Colfax and get lunch on my reservation.
I've seen several stories of passengers being allowed to move into unoccupied sleeper accommodations early.
I have direct person experience of being allowed to have a meal on my sleeper reservation in the dining room before I could occupy my Roomette - because the train was running late.
Sometimes a train is so late sleeper passengers get extra meals, if the train still has food left.
The bottom line is it never hurts to ask, and asking is substantially different than attempting to perpetrate a scam.
It's really sad some forum members are incapable of detecting the difference.
If that isn't a scam I don't know what is
