Yes, I know it doesn't apply to accomodation or BC charges. I specified it was an AAA fare bc many times the special NE Regional promotional fares are not upgradable and you can't add accomodations/BC on. I may just try to do an on board upgrade....I don't want to risk getting bumped up to a...

So I have a trip coming up next week on NE Regionals. The price has jumped from the 64 or so dollars I paid for coach months ago to 144 aka the train is sounding pretty full! Business class is still available and I'm thinking I should suck it up and upgrade and at least finding a seat will be...

Has anyone had any luck calling to ask them to convert a phone reservation made before the eticket system was active (that I was supposed to pick up at a quick track) into an eticket? I love the idea of etickets. I was able to get an eticket for an old reservation I made online, but just...

I made sure to include that bit of information. I had to add in the train number and day so they can at least track it to who was on duty that day. They certainly would care if they started flying into the vestibule! lol I'll let you all know if I hear back. Haven't had a chance to call yet...

Thanks everyone. I did let on board services know...whoever boarded us, but he didn't seem to really care so I figured it was worth finding out who I can email or call. I'll try that number.

I took a round trip from TRE to WNL (Windsor Locks, CT) this weekend visiting friends. WNL is really just an unstaffed one car length platform and one of those plastic bus shelters you can wait under in bad weather which is fine except wasps have made a nice home in the little shelter! My...

I'm doing a trip TRE (Trenton, NJ) to WNL (Windsor Locks,CT) this summer. On my northbound leg, I can get my AAA discount on the fare which is great. When I add my return leg, it's one of the special NE Corridor fares where if you add AAA, your price goes up. So I tried breaking it into 2...

I'm waiting for my statement to close next week to hopefully see mine. Mom's statement points posted for January this week, but no sign of her bonus points yet! :( I too took a screen shot and kept the registration flyer. I'll wait to see if they come thru in Feb. If not, she'll have to call...

Hoping mine post soon! Neither my account or mom's have gotten the bonus points yet!

The latest posted by Amtrak in the last hour have the Auto train up and running tomorrow (so CSX tracks sound clear now) and they said they are currently doing work in/around Trenton to repair NYC to Philly service since the water has receded. They said they will post an update later today on...

Amtrak just replied to someone on their Facebook page that they anticipate Auto Train service in both directions to resume tomorrow.

I'm supposed to be on the Silver Star on the 6th out of Trenton for my Disney trip. And I've got theater tix for this weekend in NYC. Let's hope they can get service back in Hamilton/Trenton asap! Thanks for the update Jis! That's much more info than I've gotten off the news here. Sounds like...

I've only ridden Business class on the Palmetto route on an 11 hr trip. Usually on the NEC I do coach. What's the Vermonter Business Class like? Is it the 2 by 1 seating the Palmetto has? or is it different? I'm planning on taking the Vermonter for about a 5 hour trip and trying to decide if...

I was wondering the same thing. I'm taking the Palmetto south bound tomorrow and OTP for the Palmetto north and southbound has been AWFUL this week.
