Hi Everyone,
New poster here with some concerns about the missed connection between the SWC to CS at LAX. We have 2 roomettes booked through Amtrak Guest Rewards from FLG to MTZ at the end of July. The SWC #3 has been late enough into LAX to miss the 10:25 AM departure of #14, on at least 4 ocassions so far in June.
When I asked the representative at AGR about the guaranteed connections, he said, "Don't worry, we'll take care of you." I'm not sure if that means they will "bustitute" us to Bakersfield to the San Joquin, put us up overnight in LA, with the next day out on the CS, or hold the CS for the arrival of the SWC.
This trip is for the adventure of using the CS and it's prestigous Pacific Parlour Car. Any heads-up on this will be appreciated.
Also, since both FLG and MTZ have checked bag service, I'm wondering it is wise to check baggage through, check it to LAX, then recheck to MTZ, or just keep it in plain view on our car (carry-on).
Thanks.
