Save 20% on Amtrak travel to New York, NY from stations in the Northeast. Request promotion code V529 when you book online at www.amtrak.com or call 1-800-USA-RAIL. Enter Promotion Code V529 when prompted by the reservations system.

There may be a H401 promotion in the San Joaquin Valley offering a discount through the month of February. A friend saw an advertisement to that effect in the Fresno Bee.

Any idea where this promo comes from? Does it work on reserved trains or just the u trains? Thank you.

I think it works on both - but the best way would be to test sell it on whichever train you're planning on taking. Some codes work with conjunction with the AAA rates, some don't. See mckincaid's post on the first page - he's got a link to a pretty good website he created.

that's the source of my previous post. hope it helps.

The new issue of Arrive had a mention of 20% off fares to Philadelphia through 5/27/2004. Use promo code V729 for 20% off unreserved coach. This was listed with the article about the Art Institute's "Manet by the Sea" exhibit.

It seems that there are NO discount codes for weekday Acela Express trains New York - Boston. I (and many others) would be very appreciative of such a code http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
Happy Travels

That's because Acela Express trains are already full on weekdays South of New York.

North of New York fares have already been lowered to a MAXIMUM of $99 and unlike airline fares there ar no add taxes or fuel surchares. In fact the shoulder fares are only $92 each way and the off peak fare is only $85 each way.
You can upgrade to first class for an additional $50 each way, and again unlike the airlines this is not space available, you can upgrade at the time of booking.

It's already a good deal, what are you looking for?

Nor are there the TSA hassles or the cab to from LGA or BOS.

Thank you Davud Gunn!

Well, this might answer your Boston requests.
