Thank you for making this video! I'm retiring in Feb and am planning a month of solo train travel from Maine to Florida. My stops will be DC, Charleston, Savannah, Va Beach, West Palm. . .still looking into other areas. Seems like it will take a month of planning, so much to look into. Can't wait!
Amtrak Guest Rewards members that have enough points to earn Amtrak Select level have access to the lounges. Our travel over the last 15 months allowed us to get Amtrak Select and gave us access to the lounges.
For coach passengers, the costs are: $20 for breakfast. $25 for 2-course lunch. $45 for a 3-course dinner. $20 for all kids meals. The meals are included for sleeper car passengers.
499 was for 10 segments. A segment is counted each time you board and get off a train. For example, NY to Chicago is one segment. Chicago to La Plata was one segment.
Thank you!
