WHY IT RATES: Travel agents and advisors working with clients who prefer rail travel should consider the Amtrak savings promotion.-Donald Wood, Breaking News Senior Writer.


It's time to sit in comfort, and not traffic for your spring, summer and holiday travel with Amtrak's latest flash sale on long distance and state supported trains, exclusively available at Amtrak.com.

Starting Monday, Jan. 28 through Thursday, Jan. 31, customers can take advantage of the low prices from the sale, celebrate "National Plan for Vacation Day" on Tuesday, Jan. 29,and book travel across the entire national network on some of Amtrak's most popular trains, including the Adirondack, California Zephyr, Coast Starlight, Downeaster, Lake Shore Limited, Lincoln Service, Silver Service/Palmetto, Wolverine and more from Monday, March 11 through Monday, July 8, with no blackout dates.

Since the sale is valid during the spring and beginning of the summer, customers can leverage this sale for their Memorial Day and Fourth of July travel and other spring and summer trips. With large spacious seating and no middle seat on its trains, Amtrak customers can relax and ride the rails to visit the most popular cities in the country for their travel, whether it's to catch a baseball game, experience a summer music festival, explore a new city, relax at the beach, or to enjoy an outdoor biking or hiking adventure.

Being able to easily travel from downtown to downtown, Amtrak offers free Wi-Fi, the freedom to use phones and electronic devices at all times (no "airplane mode"), the ability to travel with small pets on many trains, large spacious seats with ample leg room, no middle seat, and one of the most generous baggage policies in the travel industry, applicable for two personal items and two carry-on bags.

All prices will be automatically discounted from the standard fare price. No discount code is needed; prices are as shown and can't be combined with other discount codes. Sale prices are available exclusively for one-way Coach Class fares; upgrades to Business Class or First Class are not permitted. Seating is limited; seats may not be available on all trains at all times. Fares are subject to availability. Other restrictions apply.
