Train Attendant
Hello fellow forum members! I have some doubts regarding on ticket exchange, here is my situation:
I fly standby, I'm scheduled for a flight that arrives 6:10 a.m. 8/20 at JFK. Then I have a single ticket with two trains: New York Penn - Washington, and Washington - Chicago.
I don't know if I'll be able to board that flight (I hope so), anyway, I'd have a better second plan, flying EZE-MIA-DCA, and then catching CL at Washington Union Station.
I know that no-show isn't the best way of cancelling a reservation. Besides, I'd like to use that money I have already been charged in order to pay for that new single ticket WAS-CHI.
My question is this, let's suppose it is Saturday 18th in the evening and I see that it would be impossible to board the JFK flight the next day, how can I change my NYP-WAS-CHI reservation to a WAS-CHI one? I don't know if I'll get some money back or don't (I have an ISIC discount in my current reservation, and for the 3-day rule I wouldn't be able to get a discount then). Is it possible through the internet? Or maybe over the phone? Is there a long hold time when calling Amtrak? (keep in mind, I want to pay less for that call than the money i paid for the ticket
)
Again, thank you all for your support!
