Amtrak

The Unique Amtrak Experience with Many Benefits

Different from Air Travel, Buses or a Car Ride

Riding the rails has long held an allure for the discriminating traveler. That sentiment still holds true — Amtrak travel offers a richer travel experience and provides some surprisingly practical advantages too. Climb aboard Amtrak today and see for yourself.

No Added Fees

All fares include free changes and cancelations within 24 hours of purchase as well as an array of amenities that come with the Amtrak experience: downtown-to-downtown service, no middle seat, ample legroom, free WiFi on most trains, one of those most generous baggage policies in travel and the ability to earn Guest Rewards points.

City-to-City Service

Why bother with out-of-the-way airports, overbooked flights, taxis or expensive downtown parking? Take Amtrak instead — trains go right where you want to go, delivering you from the heart of one city to the heart of another. What could be more convenient? Save yourself the aggravation and give yourself more time for your business or fun things to do with the family.

Quick and Green Travel

Skip the buses and traffic on the road and instead treat yourself to spacious and comfortable seating, access to the Cafe Car and Quiet Car and many more thoughtful amenities onboard the train. Rail travel is at the head of the class when it comes to eco-friendly travel. Trains consume less energy and produce less harmful pollutants than either car or air travel. Hopping on an Amtrak train will save you gas and daily wear and tear on your car. It also reduces the ever-increasing traffic congestion on the roads and in the skies.

A Smarter Choice than the Bus

Room to Roam

Enjoy the spirit of a road trip without the hassles. Instead of being confined to a cramped, uncomfortable seat for your entire trip, a train lets you get up to stretch your legs and walk around to other parts of the train. That's not even an option when you fly, ride a bus or drive a car. You even get the pleasure of chatting with fellow passengers from all walks of life and all parts of the world. When you do want to have a seat, relax in one of our nice, wide seats with plenty of legroom and enjoy views that most travelers will never see.
