I'm planning a trip from Cleveland to LAX very soon. I see where the SWC is listed on Rail Sale. I'd like to use a sleeper however. What are the chances that I can get one at Union Station the day I depart if I depart in the middle of the week?
You can't upgrade to anything with the rail sale ticket, not even a business class seat. I think this policy is very foolish. IMO what Amtrak is saying is this " we have 6 rooms empty at time of departure, but we can't take your extra $100 for a room that will be empty for the rest of the trip. But we here at Amtrak can't figure out why we are always straped for cash and the feds balk at giving us more money ! "rmadisonwi said:IIRC, a rail sale can't be upgraded to a sleeper except once on board the train. Therefore, even being in Union Station a few minutes before departure time wouldn't work. You'd have to either take your chances at getting a room on board, or buy the sleeper with the coach reservation (thus paying a higher coach fare).
To answer your question Gingee the experience I had riding in coach overnight may not be considered to be a bad experience to others, but I wasn't impressed at all with the surroundings.Guest_Gingee said:To AmtrakMichigan - what happened in coach that was a bad experience?
