Amtrak Safety Procedures

Amtrak has taken steps to safeguard the travel experience for its passengers such as:

  • When searching for travel, customers will see the percentage of seats sold that adjusts next to each route as passengers make reservations. This will give customers the opportunity to book a train that is less crowded. If capacity exceeds comfort levels, customers can change their ticket without incurring a fee. There are also no middle seats, making the ride more relaxing and spacious.
  • All trains are equipped with onboard filtration systems with a fresh air exchange rate every 4-5 minutes.
  • Per federal law and Amtrak policy, all customers and employees must wear a face mask or covering that fully covers the entire mouth and nose, fits snugly against the side of the face, and secures under the chin at all times while onboard and in stations. For more information, visit: amtrak.com/coronavirus.

Conclusion

This is a good sale from Amtrak that will save you 50% on fares, up to $50 per segment. Take a look and book before May 5th if you are interested. And as always, let us know if you book anything, or if you have any tips for other readers.

  1. 50 years without profit. Best financial year in the 50 year history of Amtrak was 2019 when they lost $30 million and celebrated that. FY 2020 was about $800 million in losses. I love trains but maybe it’s time to put this mule down.
