Pere Flyer
Lead Service Attendant
I’ve been checking fares GRR-FTW in mid-August and have found the BC fare $9 cheaper than coach (BC on the Pere Marquette, coach on the Texas Eagle.) When I select BC and modify the Pere Marquette accommodation from BC to coach, the resulting coach-coach fare is $26 cheaper than the one initially offered. I noticed that the TE coach fare under the BC accommodation was $26 cheaper than the one under the coach accommodation. Since when has Amtrak been offering discounted coach fares to BC passengers on LDs that lack BC? Doesn’t make much sense from a revenue-centric perspective.
