Amtrak USA Rail pass details
Vacationers can book from January 10th to January 17th for $299 — a $200 savings — and can take 10 rides (segments) in coach. The pass validity is 120 days following the date of purchase, and there is a 30-day period in which the pass must be utilized. With that in mind, have you started mapping out your dream route yet?
Before booking those winter train rides, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Trips that require a connection will require two Rail Pass segments
- Some stations are not included in the promotion, including:
- Acela
- Auto Train
- Maple Leaf (Canadian stations only)
- Thruway Bus Series 7000-7999
- USA Rail Pass is available for Sale and Value Fares only
- Travel is restricted to two roundtrips (four one-way trips) between the same two stations
- Trip changes are permitted prior to the scheduled departure’s time
- Should you make a trip change, it still must be within 120 days of your initial booking and within the 30 days of travel
