    Earning Points

    Can I still earn points for a ticket that I used the senior discount ? Does the ticket class ( saver, value or flexible) have any effect on earning points? Thanks, Jim

    Passenger Names on Ticket

    Would an infant (under 2) be required to be listed on the ticket? The AGR ticket agent said no. My wife thinks thats wrong. I talked to another agent and they said no since he is considered a "Lap baby". Anyone have first hand experience ? Thanks, Jim

    Amtrak Pets on Board Trial

    What a can of worms. Does this mean that soon there may be a snake, spider, lizard etc in a flimsy cage under the seat in front of me? What about people allergic to pet hair? Amtrak will lose more Pax than gain.

    East Glacier Park dinner

    Not sure of the WB time, be it 5:00 or 5:30 but, if time is tight, go to the diner when you board and talk to the person in charge. He or she may give you a reservation slip right then. Sometimes a Tour group leader may block an entire seating time for his group.(happened to me). Jim

    #10031 Dome Window -- Fixed??

    Unless this is an inside joke, I think your responce was "out of bounds". Last I saw, it still had the " metal pannel" in the middle (hope I am wrong) Jim55

    Double and Triple Points start today (3/14)

    I called and was told that the 2 one way tickets limit was for the "take five". Also, the $35.00 was for the "take five". So if he was correct,any trip ie... Chicago-Glenview is good for 2x or 3x. Jim

    Amtrak Ticket Price Hike

    I rode the Hiawatha from Chicago to Glenview yesterday and noticed a $.43 increase in the ticket price. Wonder what the CHI-MKE price jump amounted to? Does anyone know if this increase was system wide? The agent at GLN thought it started about 12 July. Jim

    I may regret this later

    I recommend ear plugs and some even like a blindfold to block out the reduced night lighting. Also a cheap $3 +/- throw blanket can come in handy. Jim
