Or will it not matter if I wait until May or June?

Thanks!
Book ASAP!!!!!!

It's very rare to see discount codes that work on the Auto Train as it is one of Amtrak's most popular trains. Everyday that you wait to book could see someone buying a ticket that kicks the pricing bucket to the next level and that would negate any discount code that might come along.

Prices in coach can vary by as much as $150 from low bucket to high bucket, prices in a sleeper can vary by as much as $100 to $500 for the smallest sleeping compartment. Even more for the larger rooms.

So again, book as soon as you possibly can!
