Hi..
New to this website, was up all night going through interesting postings. Very nice website.
I'm taking the CZ from Omaha to Chicago, then the Capital Limited from Chicago to Alliance Ohio in Aug 06. I have a roomette on both legs, mainly because this is only our 2nd Amtrak adventure and my wife is not real excited. I want the privacy and comfort of a sleeper to keep her adventures positive. Our first trip we had a sleeper one way, and tried the coach on the return trip...the coach was a disappointment, the wife vowed never again.
My question is, the roomette prices just went down. I made reservations on the phone in Jun, and the Omaha-Chicago leg was $200.00...checked today and the price is $83.00 Chicago-Alliance leg was $162.00, and today the price is $133.00. Is there a way to get the new lower price???
Our 1st trip was the CZ from Omaha to Granby, CO in May 06. I had planned on a roomette, and kept checking the price for a couple months before the trip. One day the family bedroom was cheaper than a roomette, so that is what we got. I was worried maybe the sleepers would sell out for Aug travel to Chicago/Alliance, so bought the tickets earlier than last time.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Mark
