Just an update. Amtrak gave us $400 credit on the sleeper A room change issue. Better than nothing.
I would consider that as much more than “fair compensation”, as you also received a fare discount when you yourself instituted the modification to your original reservation…Just an update. Amtrak gave us $400 credit on the sleeper A room change issue. Better than nothing.
So lyineltrain received a Fair Discount on top of a Fare Discount !I would consider that as much more than “fair compensation”, as you also received a fare discount when you yourself instituted the modification to your original reservation…

Yuup - last year I noticed the Black Friday prices, but you risk availability sometimes. I booked on POINTS so, unless it's a significant difference, I'll probably stick with what I have. Although, one year I found a better deal after booking with points, and I re-booked to get the points credited back. When you do that there's also a risk, since you must first cancel the original, and then hope that there's still availability to what you want at the new point level (We actually were re-assigned cars, and lost a C Bedroom for an A bedroom (a little smaller footprint)Have you previously booked at a higher price.

In November on Black Friday the price will be even lower when they have their annual sale.

Hahaha - but who wants to go to Orlando when it’s hot and stay in the Northeast when it’s cold !?For those taking the Autotrain I would caution you not to go during "snowbird months. I would guess that's Oct-Nov.-Jan going south and April-May going North. The train frequently sells out and the wait for meals can be significant. From past experience May was a good travel month on that route. We have taken that train when it was less than half full.
For those who have been following this particular post, the NB Auto Train prices for late March 2025 (as of today 5/17/24) for 2 travelers are now $171 coach, $514 roomette, $829 bedroom.Just caught the "DIP" in AutoTrain prices for our return trip -
