I think you just got lucky. Have you encountered that for a long time, or just recently?

The promo is well worth signing up for if you are traveling like a normal person, and not a railfan...

It says that terms and conditions may apply. ;)

A news article today made me think of this thread: http://www.wsmv.com/story/19378201/airlines-you-cant-wear-that

From my collection!

A half-rate child has to be on the same reservation as the accompanying adult, though.

Not necessarily. This is how it's always been and has nothing to do with the recent refund policy or eTicketing changes.

When you have multiple people in the same class of service on the same train and in the same reservation, they are all priced together by default. Reducing the number of people will cause a reprice to occur, even if you're not rebooking anyone or changing their bucket. Whether the agent should...

Dan, I have a hypothesis. Go back to Amtrak.com and price your trip now as you did originally, if you were traveling on the same trains and schedule, with your three adults and two children. I bet Amtrak raised the price of your seats since you booked them, because I just did a test for a...

You'll probably be able to find a seat on some train... but remember it is the start of a holiday weekend.

:giggle:

Looks like they must have fixed it.

It depends. Is the 10am connecting train the next day the only possible option in the schedule, or is there an earlier train (the same day) that Amtrak could put you on?

The official communications on this topic have been numerous and conflicting -- so it certainly can't hurt to call and try to have the agent email you a travel document, but no promises.

If you already paid for the reservation, the agent would have to refund it, then book a new reservation at the now-prevailing price. so, probably a bad idea.

Worst case, you can take a taxi from the airport to downtown Penn Station -- it'll cost about $10 or $15.

Unreserved tickets are still valid for the usual period, except for any days or times when the fare isn't valid (e.g. peak/offpeak, or on Thanksgiving for Surfliners, etc.). The way unreserved tickets are represented in the new eTicketing world is something that Amtrak is tweaking and refining...

Actually, Shortline, there's no conspiracy -- I thought Amtrak could help, so I copied your message that explained the Budget problem at Birmingham, and sent it to one of our contacts there asking if they had heard about this problem before. As the_traveler said, maybe they were able to match...

How do you know that this person's pet is a so-called "comfort animal"? An animal that is not a service animal is not automatically therefore a comfort animal.

If the reservation is adjusted for a segment to reflect a non-Select City Pair, then you will get two points per dollar and not the Select City Pair bonus.
