Amtrak has a great deal for those looking to travel, and it will also help you with social distancing while aboard. They are offering two private room tickets for the price of one. Let’s take a look at the details.
The Offer
Amtrak is offering 2-for-1 deals on “roomettes” until July 17. You just need to book by that date, but you can travel from July 13 through September 30, 2020. Booking a private room provides some social distancing, but you will still have to interact with others while boarding and walking through the cars. So make sure to follow CDC rules and wear a mask at all times when social distancing is not possible.
Roomettes feature two comfortable seats by day that convert to upper and lower berths by night. Each room includes a big picture window, fresh towels and linens and access to a private restroom and shower in your car. A dedicated sleeping car attendant provides turndown service, assists with meals, helps with luggage and shares great stories of life on the rails. All customers in private rooms receive complimentary lounge access at major stations, priority boarding and complimentary meals onboard.
To receive this discount, use the Fare Finder from this page or enter code V306 when booking a trip on the Amtrak app. The offer is subject to availability and not available on the Auto Train. An advanced reservation of at least 3 days is required. Other restrictions may apply.
In an effort to simplify and safeguard the travel experience, several cleaning, contract-free and convenience measures have been implemented to every part of the customer journey — from time of booking to the moment of arrival. Learn more about all measures at Amtrak.com/coronavirus.
