My wife has expressed interest in visiting our daughter at college in VA and taking the train (Cardinal). This is something we’ve done before - but typically planned months in advance. At this late date - sleeper space is predictably nonexistent.
Years ago (about 15) I was able to score sleeper space while onboard a sold out Capitol Limited due to what I’m sure were “No Shows” due to missed connections.
A couple of questions:
1. If my wife and I decide to throw caution to the wind and go Business Class with an eye toward snagging an open sleeper onboard - what do you think the odds are there will be a No Show due to a missed connection in CHI?
2. What is the process for purchasing sleeper space onboard if it is available, and how much do they charge?
