What would you consider a bargain in general for anything these days? Also domestic premium travel is about as hot as it's ever been. Look at hotel rates in Hawaii, Napa, or South Florida.

Amtrak's capacity woes only exacerbate their need to aggressively yield-manage. I suspect lower buckets on open space can and do drop at the last minute if you have any flexibility. Did you check anything in the next 1-5 days or only months out?
