Im trying to understand the difference between business class and coach class. Either way you are still sitting in seats and not a room. I do know that business class has more legroom, but is that the only difference? Are all business class seats in a separate car from coach class seats?

Vaccinated and boosted, do we need to get tested before our Amtrak trip? Looked on Amtraks website and could not find any info. Leaving next week.

Did you see the fare online or call Amtrak? I have been trying to see H Room fares online and can't find anything on Amtrak's website.

I have a Superliner bedroom booked on the CZ, CHI to EMY. I see that someone says the H Room fare is generally the same as a bedroom. Im consideriing a switch to the H room if available and the price is not ridiculously higher. I hear I have to wait 2 weeks before my departure to see if one...

I have no disability but I would like to try one of the accessible bedrooms on Amtrak because it's huge and you can see out both sides of the train. If it's not sold out on a particular train by a certain date before a train departs will I be able to get it or do they just leave it empty?

I think I got a pretty good deal, dont know about low buckets or high buckets. This past summer I booked a trip for April 2022, CLE to CHI in coach on the LSL and next day CHI to EMY in a superliner bedroom on the CZ for $1290.20.

Now this I can understand. Its so simple. Thank you so much.

Thank you everyone for your input. I know see where I messed up. When I saw $1066 under rooms, I jumped to conclusions and didnt follow thru with the different types of rooms. I will keep the reservation I already have.

Damn. Thank you. I didnt catch that. I will just keep the reservation I got. Thx again.

I already have a reservation for CLE to EMY for $1290 that I booked months ago. I was just seeing if I could get a better price. And I see a better price if I book them in single segments. CLE to CHI for $96 coach and CHI to EMY superliner BR for $1066....that comes to $1162.....or....for...

No because the bedrooms in the one I marked as coach were only $668 so that wasnt enough for the jump.

I went to check and see if the price of my future trip has dropped. When I input CLE to CHI on the LSL on Apr 28, 2022 the price is $96 in coach for 2 seniors. When I input CHI to EMY on the CZ on Apr 29, 2022 the price is $1066 with a superliner bedroom for 2 seniors. Now, when I combine...

I appreciated that. That makes sense. So I need to make my own chart, and thanks to you I see now how to do it. Thx again.

Im trying to understand these bucket prices. I see all these charts folks are showing me about bucket pricing. Instead of looking at their old charts, how do I find bucket prices for the California Zephyr and where would I go to find them myself?

I hear so much about bucket pricing, can someone explain them so I will understand? Or tell me where I can go to read about them? I have a trip planned end of April 2022 from Cleveland to Chicago in coach on the LSL and then from Chicago to Emeryville in a bedroom on the CZ total price $1290...

Already can lock my room.

OMG. What have I started. All I originally asked was can I lock my bags onto the baggage racks. Then I explained why I wanted to lock them up. The answer everyone gave me was no. The sarcasm is uncalled for.

Ok Saddleshoes. Thats a good idea. I have been told in this thread that its not good to lock my bags to the baggage rack because it would be inconvenient for others to get to their bags or for the conductor to move them around as people comeknife. and go. I was also told that there is nothing...

Because we have 2 large bags that would take up room in the roomette, so we need to leave them downstairs on the baggage rack. And I want them to be there when we get off the train, thats why we are locking them.
