Hi,
I am relatively new to Amtrak. Here is my situation. I am arriving into Newark International Airport at 6pm on Fri AUG 08 on an international flight.
I then want to go via Amtrak from EWR station to PHL. I have a couple of questions.
1) If I book my ticket online, where can I collect the ticket from? I believe I need to show a ticket to get a free ride on the Airport-Station monorail, otherwise it will cost me $5/-
2) I have two medium sized suitcases that I will be carrying and a hand bag.
How do I get from the arrivals hall in Newark International Airport to the EWR Amtrak station (with my luggage)
3) I am planning on buying my Amtrak ticket online (either one way to PHL or round trip). Can you please tell me:
a) Can I cancel the entire trip and what amount of the fare will I receive back if I buy the ticket online and cancel before the travel date?
B) If I buy a roundtrip ticket EWR-PHL-EWR, can I cancel and receive the refund if I do not travel EWR-PHL and yet retrain the PHL-EWR ticket?
c) Is there any option to cancel and receive a refund/credit if I cancel after the train has departed (in case my flight is late which causes me to miss the train and I cannot call before and cancel)
4) Currently I am seeing that my options for EWR-PHL on SEP 08 from ~7pm onwards are:
- Train 137 leaving at 0642pm - Only Business Class at $100
- Train 175 leaving at 0857pm $61 in coach.
Is there nothing in between 0642-0857pm?
5) Is there usually space to carry two 28inch suitcases onboard?
6) Are there any codes that I can use. I tried a few of the codes through the sticky but they seem to be giving me errors. I am quite new at Amtrak ticketing, so please forgive me for the silly questions.
7) How long does the monorail ride from the airport to the station take?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Andy
