All Amtrak's long-distance overnight trains also require reservations. Stations will be busier than usual and parking will be limited. Amtrak urges travelers to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to departure, earlier if tickets must be purchased or bagged checked. Use suburban stations. Customers who do not have baggage to check can frequently board trains at suburban stations closer to home in many markets, eliminating downtown trips during the busy travel days.
Kids travel half-price.
Seniors and customers with mobility requirements travel at a discount. Mature travelers 62 and older and customers with special needs receive a 15 percent discount on the lowest available fare. Interviews and live shots are welcomed for Nov. 25. Please call in advance to arrange.
