Is it necessary to reserve a seat on a short ride from Poughkeepsie down to NYC or can we just show up at the station and get on board ? Thanks
You have to pick a specific train.I was just wondering if we could wing it on which train to take back into the city Saturday or if we have to pick a specific train and time to go back down to Penn. Staying near Penn station
Not necessarily. Amtrak will sometimes discount connecting tickets over two separate tickets, but that’s definitely not always the case. Also note that multi-city tickets don’t have guaranteed connections (though that probably won’t make much difference if they overnight in NYC).If you’re going to take 1 train to NYC, spend the night then take Amtrak to Florida the next day, then I would recommend you use the multi-city booking and book from POU to FL! As long as there is less than 23 1/2 hours between trains, there is a substantial savings over 2 point to points reservations!
May I ask why you thought you needed 3 tickets? :huh:thought I was going to have to buy 3 separate tickets (getting a sleeper car)
Indeed. And if he didn’t want to spend an overnight in NCY, he could actually do it on one standard, connecting ticket.May I ask why you thought you needed 3 tickets? :huh:thought I was going to have to buy 3 separate tickets (getting a sleeper car)
One would be from Poughkeepsie to NYC and one would be NYC to Florida. You do not need a separate ticket for a sleeper - that is your ticket to Florida
Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?Almost ironic was the fact that when I first replied I was right near POU heading home from Syracuse....
