Recently I purchased tickets for my Christmas trip from Palatka, FL to Bridgeport, CT. Today out of curiosity, I decided to check on prices from Jacksonville, FL (1 hour north) to Bridgeport, CT; and the tickets are almost $40 more expensive going up than the prices are for PAK. I know that...

Thanks, yeah my trip is for the week after Christmas so I need to get these tickets ASAP.

I was wondering how long can one hold an reservation without payment, and is this option usually available for holiday travel? Thanks.

I just spoke with an not so helpful Amtrak agent; who told me that they would already know by now, if tomorrow's Silver Meteor is cancelled. He said that it hasn't been cancelled. :rolleyes: Is there a deadline to cancel a train, or is it anytime they feel convient, it would be great if I...

First off I would like to say hi and introduce myself, this is my first time posting. I've been lurking on the boards for the past month or so, as I've been contemplating taking my first Amtrak trip since I was 7 (I'm 23 now). I've decided to go ahead and give it a go riding Amtrak, and I have...
