Acela wheelchair seating

[joelkfla]

Do Acela cars have a wheelchair space and an adjacent seat in both Business & 1st Class?

When I book a LD train with my profile I see wheelchair space or accessible bedroom in the available seats, but when I did a trial booking on Acela it just showed Business & 1st Class seats with no special wheelchair indication.

Thanks.

Yes, they do. Unless you state that you have a disability, the website should not allow you to book the ADA seats.

Thanks. I just realized last night, that even though I have the disability info saved in my profile, the Amtrak website defaults back to full fare adult when I first come in. Only when I explicitly select the Passenger with Disability discount does it pull up the info from the profile.

I’ve had that happen a few times. Had to call for a refund once because I hadn’t noticed it did that before I paid

Turns out I won't be riding Acela this trip, anyway. I've decided there are enough things I want to do in NYC to keep me busy for 4 days, rather than splitting it between Wash DC & NYC as I was considering. I'll maybe save Wash for when more of it opens (hopefully.)
