I have just discovered I can book tickets via the Amtrak website all the way thru to Grand Canyon for an additional $51 per way compared to tickets to Williams, but checking the Grand Canyon Railway Website the cost for a coach class ticket booked direct is just $39.50 each way (or Pulman Class just $32.50.
Does anyone know which class I would be traveling if booked via Amtrak (the website states Coach Class but I dont know if thats just a default on the webpage) and let me know if there would be any advantage of booking via Amtrak and paying the extra compared to booking direct?
Would this be classed as a guaranteed connection so should the Amtrak train be delays sufficently for me to miss the departure of the train from Williams that Amtrak would pay for alternative transport to the South Rim or (less likely) put me up in accommodation in Williams over night to get the next day train?
