Amtrak announced a new flash sale to help travelers looking to book a rail trip save money on their adventure this spring.

Dubbed the “Amtrak Spring Travel Flash Sale,” customers can save at least 25 percent off the Flex Fare price when they book through February 23 for travel between March 1 and May 23.

“The timing of the Spring Travel Flash Sale is perfect for those seeking a stress-free family trip, friends’ getaway or spring break escape,” Amtrak Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Eliot Hamlisch said.

Whether riding through the Northeast on Acela Business Class or to cities like Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Seattle via Coach class, rail travelers can experience wide, reclining seats with plenty of legroom, no middle seats, and large windows to enjoy the view. 

“With no shortage of destinations to visit across the country, customers can save on trips ahead of the summer travel season,” Hamlisch continued. 

To save even more, this limited-time offer can be combined with Amtrak’s everyday discounts, including the popular Child’s Fare. Check out the rail company’s official website for full terms and conditions.

Earlier this month, Amtrak started using self-check-in technology on a limited number of its Acela trains in the Northeast. The new process, which is accessed through the Amtrak app, allows passengers to validate their train tickets once onboard the train.
