Wow, I'm blown away, this is amazing! It tells you exactly how many spaces are available at the current bucket!! And it's so fast! Looks like there are some bugs to work out (had trouble using this on my phone, and specific searches would always fail). Regardless, great work done so far, this...

If your really worried about your points expiring, you can call AGR to ensure that there has been recent activity on the account. However, having the credit card should automatically prevent the points from expiring.

Definitely depends on the crew. I've had some that will use the actual silverware for all meals, others will only use it at dinner. If you get room service, expect to get the plasticware.

Yes to your question. Brownie and butter cake at lunch. Some crews will take it out of the wrapping, plate it, and add whipped cream and drizzle, others won’t (and will just give you the wrapped desert in its original packaging). Had one instance where they served the good deserts for lunch, but...

Amtrak is planning on putting 23 superliners a back in service this year, which could allow them to bring the 31 car back. Also haven’t heard of any involuntary downgrades in a while. Regardless, always good to be proactive...

There has not been a Transdorm on the starlight in recent months. I doubt that will change between now and the summer. You can call and ask if a Transdorm room is available. They are very easy to find because its the only time when roomettes are numbered above 14. Transdrom roomette numbers...

You can use your current companion coupon for December travel, as long as you book your travel by the time your coupon expires in August. See also: post 124: https://www.amtraktrains.com/threads/upgrade-companion-lounge-coupons-seeking-available-questions.74966/post-1023471

They just posted a more detailed alert on Twitter

Sometimes they move the departure window earlier to accommodate for track work. When this happens, they serve a extra dinner service on the first night.

Took a trip up to Seattle on Saturday, this is the alert Amtrak sent me by Email.

Keep in mind Acela first and NER business fares are automatically flex fares and thus are the only option shown. I’m pretty sure the value fare price is based on the flex fare price. Never seen a value fare exist when a flex fare didn’t exist, but I have seen the other way around.

While this leg is getting busier, I still wouldn't say its extremely busy. I ride the Eugene leg at least once a month and I almost always will get an empty seat next to me. (except around certain holidays, then they can be more than half full). However, 11/14 is usually full because of the...

There was a time late last year when booking this fare was only $1 (and could be brought down to .90 cents with a RPA, senior or student discount). So it definitely was cheaper than any TriMet ticket then. With the recent fare increase, an adult TriMet fare is 2.80 now, so this would still be...

Just saw another user complaining about this on Facebook

Yeah.. there has been way too many landslides in this area this winter.

When you search from TAC to CHI, the price under 'private rooms' defaults to using the business class price between TAC and SEA. (see $1021 price). However, once you go to book that option it then gives you the choice of coach or business on the segment from TAC to SEA, and if you choose coach...

The coupon does say it works with bedroom suites, per the coupon restrictions. However, I’d assume a) you would still have to pay for the accommodation charge of the second room (but rail fare would be free) and b) you would have to call to set that up.

Would be nice if it was honestly. They recently updated the design of the voucher and it is still $3. Will attach a photo

Yeah, there might be a bug right now. Just tried my usual login and I got an error message I have never seen before.
