Long time "guest" here, new member. I am Midwest based so have no experience with Amtrak in the NEC. Need to travel from DC to NYC soon. I'm sure this topic has been addressed here in detail but looking for some advice for my particular situation.
I have an upgrade certificate obtained from the BoA credit card and would like to use it on this trip. Checked fares for my date: regional is approx $50, Acela is $150. If I take the regional I would upgrade to business class, if Acela to first class. Time savings on Acela is pretty slim so the decision will come down to onboard experience.
Can you all give your opinion if Acela first is worth $100 above regional business? Thanks!
