    Hotels convenient to Amtrak

    Does it sometimes make it more expensive by waiting until later? Do you join hotels websites for deals? Any other hints would certainly be welcomed:)

    You can't use the Passport Card to come back into the United States as a US citizen? I only want to buy a Passport Card since I only want land or sea travel - no planes

    Would you elaborate? I do not understand why you won't be traveling - Taigo or venture mean nothing to me.

    Amtrak Metropolitan Lounges

    Hi. I was using the historical info for the last few days in Train Status leaving from San Diego and actually arriving (LAX) at least 10 minutes late-so I just guesstimated a 40 minute window to be safe. Today it arrived 14 minutes late. I did not know it was a guaranteed connection?

    Amtrak Metropolitan Lounges

    LAX Met lounge-is it far from the Pacific Surfliner arrival track from San Diego? I then will get a connecting departure for the PDX going to Portland. I will only have about 40 min from arrival from Surfliner from San Diego to the Coast Starlight & I want to go to the lounge too if it is...

    Advice for planning an Empire Builder trip

    Bob - Do you pre-book your hostel ? I am worried about long haul train delays and when to book accommodations. I also am concerned about this for Portland OR on April 26-28 2023-due to Coast Starlight delays.

    Hotels convenient to Amtrak

    Great that you are taking her now before the "sullen" years - she will remember this trip all her life especially if there are snafus. What a wonderful gift for her and you. Have you personally used CTA to those hotels? Were you solo? Any ones you would recommend?

    RPA meeting with Mr. Larry Chestler of Amtrak on 11/15/22

    I would have liked a breakdown of the hires (which categories was not in the slides) - and also with 1600 who left that reduces the 3728 hires. FY22 Breakdown wanted here too - So hiring 4000 may be really only 2500? with the exiting of employees in FY23. And training times are long. "Since...
