Tips for Successfully Booking Your Trip
Get the Best Price
The earlier you book your tickets, the more likely you are to get the lowest fare available for the dates you want on the routes along your journey. You may book your travel up to 11 months in advance.
Amtrak trains and accommodations tend to sell out during holidays and peak travel periods. Because fares vary based on the date and time you travel.
We offer several ways to save with discounts based upon a passenger's age (infants, children or seniors) or for membership in various organizations.
If you're looking for deeply discounted train fares, we offer them on select routes — and only online.
