Heya all,
First time poster here but I a 20+ year forum veteran and lived all around Chicago from the city, burbs, and out in the country. I have done plenty of short rides inbusiness class and love avoiding Chicago traffic when commuting to NW Illinois.
Looking to do a round trip from Chicago to Portland at the end of December. Traveling solo and staying 3-4 nights in Portland to visit a friend before heading back to Chicago. Might be traveling Xmas/NY and very flexible on departure and arrival to save some cash.
Hopefully going to grab a Roomette but heard about the option to bid to upgrade and wanted to know how that’s worked.
Any advice from the experts here otherwise I’ll be searching around for some answers in previous threads. Throw up any links to hidden gem threads here or ways to search best fairs.
Might start using this Amtrak to run the Floridian South for the winters also as I spend a lot of time in Ft Lauderdale so this will be a great resource.
Thanks in advance.
