Has Amtrak announced if Double Days offered in 2024? I haven't seen anything in my emails which is how I usually find when Double Days offered. Wife & I traveling early May thru late June and much of that on Amtrak LD trains. We are also planning a shorter fall trip departing late...

Ok thanks much

Wife and I leaving Meridian, MS on the Crescent the 6th arriving NYP the 7th. Any idea what to expect in delays?

You are right it is Fairfield not fairmont and I will definitely make sure I book the right one.

Amtrak trip this October taking us to thru NY both coming from and returning back to Louisiana. My wife is 71 and has some physical difficulties walking. The closest hotel I can find appears to be the Fairmont. From what I can determine from Google Maps it appears not to be a long walk from the...

Amtrak certainly has gained the knack of making you feel that is their mission at hand.

You are so right that service, especially dining car, has tanked as low as the utter crap being served for food at the ridiculous price we pay for it. We live in northeast Louisiana and wife and I literally loved traveling Amtrak bedrooms and would spend 3-4 weeks at a time using LD trains...

Except for auto debits my Amtrak card is back in my safe. My Select Plus status extended so also don't need the spend for 4000 TQP's and building travel points. It used to be my everyday card to finance the trips my wife and I enjoy taking but in the current atmosphere of Covid and Amtrak...

I did for wife and I and also paid with Amtrak card so should get 2pts per dollar spent towards Amtrak travel. Definitely coming back to Canada again. Would love to spend some more time in Nova Scotia especially.

I hope so as well because LD trains suit how we travel long distances. Amtrak bedrooms a bit draconian but adequately serve the purpose. Meals on western trains still edible and the communal aspect of the dining car still intact on those trains which is one of the most delightful parts of train...

Appreciate the info. Got everything booked for April 11th departure on The Canadian in car 130. Will be splitting the trip and departing four nights at Edmonton before reboarding to Victoria and having a few days in there. I am thinking about taking the Victoria Clipper Ferry to Seattle, would...

Maglev, you know phone conversation one thing but I just sent an email asking about the details so awaiting a written reply. Not sure of their response time but hopefully not too long.

I received that as well. I called Guest Rewards and specifically asked about cancellation/modification subsequent to May 31 and response was as long as reservation made prior to May 31 cancellations/modification were allowed after that date.

Wife and I have been wanting to take this trip from Toronto to Vancouver with few a days stopover at Jasper. •Tentatively planning late March early April departure from Louisiana.Total trip about 4 weeks with stops so Amtrak portion needs to be booked by May 31 for cancellation privileges. •...

My wife and I are almost 70 and use Amtrak exclusively for long distance travel and ride by bedroom for the concenience, meals and private bath/toilet. If only a few hours and not needing the bed we get roomette for the privacy and meals if applicable. I have ridden coach twice and extremely...
