I'm doing some planning for a trip with my son (6yo) and daughter (3yo) on the LSL out of Boston through to CHI.
I figured a Bedroom would be perfect for the trip, but apparantly Amtrak's reservation system disagrees:
Problem with Selected Accommodations: The accommodation you have selected is too small to accommodate the number of people traveling. Please select a different accommodation or increase the number of accommodations. Or, for additional assistance, please call 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245).
[Error ID:116A]
Yet, their website they have the following info about allowing 3 in a sleeper:
How many people can a bedroom accommodate?
Most sleeping car rooms are designed to comfortably accommodate two averaged-sized adults, one in each berth. Some rooms can accommodate more: on Superliner trains, for example, Family Bedrooms are designed to accommodate two adults and two children. Regular Bedrooms (not Roomettes, Family Bedrooms or Accessible Bedrooms) can be combined to create Bedroom Suites. In addition, lower berths in all Bedrooms (but not Roomettes) can accommodate two small adults or children, allowing up to three to share a room.
So, I'm wondering how to handle this. I can't create a 2nd reservation for just 1 child so from what I can tell they won't even allow a family of 1 adult + 2 small children to book a bedroom!?
