This includes one reservation I have for an acela out of RTE.

However, no one has yet addressed my concerns about the RTE tickets. If I have a ticket for boarding RTE in FC and I board in PVD, is there going to be a problem? Will my reservation be cancelled somewhere between PVD and RTE? I hope not.....I guess if I am doing a paper ticket I should be OK still. Since I will be doing an upgrade coupon (hopefully) and since someone mentioned earlier that they thought free upgrades would require paper tickets, hopefully this won't be an issue for me.
I think someone in the previous thread mentioned on the pilot test, it was a 3 (or 5) hr cutoff window, e.g. as long as your ticket is scanned within 3hrs of your ticket's departure, you are good.
