Do fares change a lot?
Will there be any kids ride free codes?
Anyway for a companian ticket?
Its like I missed all the codes for the time we are going....
We do belong to AAA, but I am just hoping for more than 10% as we could use any break we can get!
Thanks!
Hi!
Welcome to FT!
Amtrak fares don't change a whole lot, but availability does--there are multiple fare buckets, each with a corresponding fare. As the train fills up, the fares go up. If you have any flexibility with your travel dates, check the dates around your desired departure for pricing.
I assume you are aware of the 50% off railfare for up to 2 children ages 2-15 with the purchase of an adult ticket?
