Without purchasing a sleeper, what is the most comfortable and economic way to travel from Seattle to Pittsburgh for 2 adults?
Coach passengers aren't allowed to use the sleeper showers on the train, nor the showers in the Metro Lounge in Chicago, but I think they can buy a day pass to the Metro Lounge. Does anyone know, if they do so, are they entitled to use the shower?Coach is a relatively inexpensive way to travel on Amtrak. I find it comfortable and easy to sleep. Seattle to Pittsburgh will be a three night trip. You might want to break the trip up with a stop over somewhere and the chance to sleep in a bed and take a shower. However plenty of folks travel in coach on trips this long or longer and enjoy it.
This, and remember the extra price you pay for the sleeper is not just for the sleeper itself but also covers meals while on the train.Sleeper on a train is the most expensive way to go, although it does include three nights of lay-flat accommodations which should count for something. I'd be willing to spend the money if I had it to spend. Personal observation: There have been a number of times after an overnight coach trip when I have looked back and said, "You know, I wish I had spent the extra money and taken the sleeper." There has never yet been an overnight sleeper trip where I have looked back and said, "You know, I wish I had saved that money and traveled coach." As always, Your Mileage May Vary.
