Hello all! Taking my first Amtrak trip with my trained service dog soon- she's a seasoned plane traveler, but thought I'd mix it up this time- it'll be my first time on Amtrak too! I'm curious if anyone has traveled on the new Venture cars on the San Joaquin line and can speak about the let room. My dog (50lbs) easily tucks in the "personal item" space underneath a tiny Frontier airline seat for a cross country trip, but I don't know if the train seats have a similar setup.
Do Amtrak seats generally have that room underneath them for my service dog to tuck under? If not, would you recommend booking the accessible seating? I don't love the style- I avoid booking bulkhead seats on planes because my dog sleeps better in the cozy, enclosed space under a seat rather than out in the open. I'm traveling alone so, unless the train is empty, I won't have the option of letting my dog stretch out a bit if she can't fit under the seat in front of me.
Thanks!
