I messaged you the codes. Have a great trip.

The companion Flash Sale is now ending on 10/31. It ends too soon for my trip, hopefully, it is helpful for someone!

I have 2 10% discount coupons and 2 12-hour upgrade coupons to give away. They all expire on 1/15/2025. Please let me know if you would like any of these coupons. I'm reposting in case everyone missed this. On a separate note, I am looking for a companion coupon for a Feb trip.

We usually travel in November, so I haven't looked at Black Friday sales. Is there a history of auto train sales that day? (that would be awesome).

Me too! I booked the northbound tickets but can't bring myself to book the super expensive southbound. Fingers crossed for lower buckets!

I have been able to pass along upgrade and discount coupons just by sharing the number. For Lounge passes, you might 'snip' a screenshot on your computer and email, since you don't have a smartphone. You just open your account so that you can see the pass on the screen and then open whatever...

Unless you need the bathroom in your room, you could also price out 2 roomettes. That way you each have a lower bunk - it can be a better sleeping arrangement than a bedroom. You can call and ask for the roomettes to be across from each other (join guest rewards - it's free, and use their...

Interesting. Thanks for the information.

Looks like they have been arriving in CA 6, 7, 8 hours late! for the last few days. Anyone know what happened?

They usually have a food truck since they no longer give coach passengers dinner. They also have a nice little gift shop with prepackaged sandwiches and snacks (all pricey). I usually just pack food for dinner and snacks (we have a roomette, but I don't eat the dinner (allergies) sometimes my...

We will be taking the LSL from Albany to CHI and then catching the SWC. I'm concerned about our luggage. Is there no luggage rack in the sleeper cars? We have a roomette. I'm afraid that if we check out suitcases and arrive very late we will have to get on the SWC before we can pick up our...

Thank you. Do they keep the water bottles accessible for you to grab or do you have to ask your car attendant for them?

We will be taking our first trip on the SWC this spring in a roomette. We are used to taking the Auto Train (also roomette). Are there any differences? Are water bottles easily available? Ice machine? Coffee? Showers? Any input would be welcome. We will be leaving from Chicago and getting...

I have an upgrade coupon that expires on January 9 that I will not be using. Does anyone need that? Separately, I am looking for a companion coupon to use in May, if anyone has one they cannot use. Thanks

Thank you! that is very helpful.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the cubby across from the top bunk in the Viewliner roomette? Thanks

We take the autotrain every year with a manual transmission car and have had no issues. Although they are becoming more and more rare.

When we take the auto train we usually have a big cooler in the car (not on the train - holds lunch). We have a big healthy late lunch/early dinner at the station while we wait to get on the train (kale salad, sandwich, fruit, etc.) Once on the train, we have snacks; nuts, apples, oranges...

Does anyone know the measurements (in a roomette) of the slot that is to the left of the seat under the clothes hangers area (not the step side) on a superliner? I want to be sure I can fit my tote bag there. Thanks

This is true. We encountered the same issue last trip. If you want to eat in your room on the autotrain, be sure to request it at check-in.
