Ryan S., I love you member photo! That's exactly how I feel (frustrated) with this trip. We've made several LD AGR trips and never had all this hassle.

Thanks so much for the info about Flyertalk. I will check it out. Our original homebound itinerary is WFH to PDX Mar 10, PDX to LAX Mar 11, LAX to LCH Mar 12. No agent mentioned that the CS/SL was not a guaranteed connection(although, 1 hour does seem close).

Thank you for your reply. I'm still getting the same answer- any change, 15,000 points & no guaranteed connections to PDX. If we have to overnight in PDX, we will also have to change our tickets from PDX to LAX and from Lax to LCH. This will result in us having to overnight in LAX because the SL...

I have a trip with a roomette booked for March 5-14-LCH/WFH round trip. I received a call from Amtrak saying #27 is consistently late now and Amtrak will not guarantee my connections in PDX . If I leave my ticket like it is, and #27 is late, the rest of my trip is thrown off. I wasn't planning...

Thank you all for your help. Actually, our trip isn't until March (I just like planning it) and we're traveling AGR points in a roomette and bedroom. We love Amtrak and really love AGR.

I think EMY sounds better. I'll try to get something close for less than $200.00, though.

Maybe this area wouldn't be too safe around midnight (when we're scheduled to arrive). ?? :unsure:

Thanks everyone. :P

Thanks to everyone for your help. We love riding the train and couldn't do it without this forum.

For sure, can't give up the view or Pac. Parlor car on the CS! Both a highlight of the trip! :)

Sounds like SAC will work best, just late arrival- 11:59 pm.

I realize we will have to get a hotel. I just don't know anything about these towns/stations. We just want a decent hotel close to the station. Thanks

We're taking the SL to LAX, then the CS, then the CZ. Should we get off the CS and reboard the CZ at EMY, Richmond, Martinez, Davis or SAC? We don't care about sightseeing in any of these towns. We're headed to CO (Green River, GJT, or GSC). We're traveling on AGR. :) Thank you for your help.

Great! Thank you all for so much info.

So I guess we can move from our roomette (LCH to ELP) to a bedroom at ELP?

Thanks I'm printing that out. Maybe it will help me.

Really! I didn't know that. We've never rode the Thruway bus. So if they won't allow RAT to LCH as a 2 zone award, I guess we could have a bedroom RAT to ELP then switch to a roomette ELP to LCH. Would that work?

Thank you. I always get answers from this forum. I couldn't make it without it. Am I correct in thinking that ELP to GSC is 1 zone? And RAT to LCH (through LAX) 2 zones? Would the whole trip be 65,000 points, if we pay LCH to ELP? We've never had a bedroom, so thought it would be nice for once.

We're planning a trip from LCH to GSC. I would like to pay for a roomette from LCH to ELP (1 zone) then use AGR from ELP to GSC for a bedroom. We won't be getting off in ELP and just changing trains in LAX and EMY. we will ride the bus from DEN to RAT and catch the SWC back to LAX, then home on...

All great ideas. Thanks
