I’m relatively new to Amtrak and preparing to take our second trip soon. The wife and I got a good deal (used amsnag) on a round trip from CHI to ALB in August w/a roomette on the LSL, trains 448/449. We’ve rethought our travel plans and now want to continue on to SPG from ALB and return from there as well on the same trains, same dates, except we’d like to move from the sleeper into coach for the ALB -SPG portion. When I price that as a separate reservation it’s only an extra $54 round trip in coach from ALB to SPG. When I check on Amtrak.com as a “multi-city” booking, it says it would cost $600 more for the two of us! Can I just book that coach fare separately from my original reservation and have two reservations on the same train? Does Amtrak care or allow this? I don’t want to mess up the good deal I got by trying to combine it into one reservation. And, if I did two separate reservations would Amtrak make us actually get off the sleeper car or would they let us just move up through the train to a coach car in ALB (and vice versa on the way back)? Thanks.
