Amtrak is offering a new limited-time sale for travelers heading from Lorton, Virginia, to Sanford, Florida, on its Auto Train, with Coach Class tickets starting at $34 per person.
Now through March 28, travelers can enjoy one-way $34 per person Coach Class fares or a First Class private room for $235. Tickets for kids aged 2-12 start at $17. Travelers can enjoy the fares for travel from April 8 through June 30, 2024.
The Auto Train’s route begins in Lorton, near Washington, D.C. and ends in Sanford, near Orlando, Florida. Travelers can save on Coach Class seats, or enjoy a discounted Roomette or Bedroom option.
Roomettes offer private rooms with two seats that transform into bunk-style beds, while Bedrooms offer an in-room sink, restroom and shower, with double the space of a Roomette. Both of these categories are considered First Class, which includes priority boarding, a dedicated attendant and complimentary meals onboard.
Amtrak—and train travel in general—is becoming more popular as travelers consider alternative travel methods, more sustainable travel methods and as the Biden Administration continues investing in modernizing rail travel nationwide.
During the last half of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, Amtrak’s ridership level was only 3 percent lower than it had been in 2019, and it hopes to continue the positive growth this year.
