Florida’s high-speed rail company, Brightline, is running a promotional sale for President’s Day weekend only, with an enticing deal for group travelers aiming to explore the Sunshine State.
Available for groups of at least three passengers, it provides a remarkable 50 percent discount on its “Smart” tickets traveling to or from the theme park capital of the world, Orlando, with prices starting as low as $39 one-way.
To take advantage of the special, limited-time offer, travelers will need to book by President’s Day (February 19), but the deal is good for trips taken between February 20 and March 31, 2024.
On the promotion’s webpage, Brightline writes, “Grab two travel buddies and explore Florida,” adding, “Whether you’re traveling to Orlando as a family or planning a getaway to South Florida for your friends, the train is the most comfortable and convenient way to get there.”
Late last year, Brightline launched its new Travel Professional Program, which provides travel advisors with a means of making a commission on their client’s intercity rail bookings in the Sunshine State. So, advisors also stand to benefit from increased bookings over the holiday weekend.

Brightline first commenced operations in 2018, initially connecting West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Subsequent expansions have included routes to Aventura and Boca Raton, with the latest addition being the Miami-Orlando route introduced late last year. The journey between these two major cities takes approximately three-and-a-half hours, according to Travel + Leisure.
Brightline passengers can opt for either "Smart" or "Premium" fares, with the latter providing such additional amenities as access to a dedicated lounge at the departure station, priority boarding, checked luggage, and complimentary drinks and snacks. All Brightline trains are equipped with complimentary onboard Wi-Fi, ensuring passengers can stay connected throughout their journey.
The regional rail operator also offers various multi-use passes in addition to individual tickets. These include the All-Station Shared Pass, which grants access to all Brightline stations, including Orlando, and the SoFlo Solo Pass, designed specifically for travel within Southern Florida.
Setting its sights outside the Sunshine State, Brightline is embarking on a significant venture in Southern California, working to establish a rail corridor connecting the region with Las Vegas. Dubbed Brightline West, this ambitious project has no estimated completion date as yet, but will eventually span 218 miles and reach speeds of up to 200 mph.
