    Auto Train questions from newbie

    You can book at any point and keep checking the price every so often and if price drops call and get a price adjustment. We know our travel dates and book early and keep checking price. Depending on the agent you will get a e-credit or credit back to your credit card.

    Auto Train questions from newbie

    We have been taking the Auto Train for years now. One year there must have been a clitch in reservation system and we got a roomette at a very reasonable price. We could not resist to try it. Well it was a horrible experience. The beds are too narrow, the top bunk is below a curved ceiling...

    Question on Carry On Baggage policy on auto train

    We have carried more than that and never had an issue. The issue was the stairway to the upper level cars is very narrow and makes it difficult to carry items up or down.

    Difficulty getting into top bunk of a Roomette

    If the roomette was free I would not take it. The upper bunk is like sleeping in a coffin. Your nose touches the ceiling and too bed is too narrow. I am not a large man and could not sleep on it. We folded the beds up and slept in the chair seating.

    Auto Train Cuts

    With the changes and the price increase we have decided to fly this time. We have taken the auto train for the past 7 years, but the prices have increased too much and almost the same price to fly.

    What is going on with Auto Train Pricing

    My dates are fixed as we own 2 weeks of timeshares in Fort Lauderdale and know the dates we need and no flexibility in the time. I usually do not book till July as I would rather have my money than Amtrak having it. I have checked Amsnag and the rate is the same for all of March 2015.
