Amtrak Celebrates Fall with Major Discounts

Amtrak is making your fall travel plans easier and more affordable with a limited-time flash sale offering 30 percent off flex fare tickets across the country. This special sale, which runs until August 7, allows travelers to book tickets for journeys taking place between August 14 and October 31. With no blackout dates and no need for a promo code, this is a prime opportunity to book your autumn adventures.

Travel with Ease and Comfort

The sale makes it possible to travel comfortably and affordably between major cities. Amtrak’s statement urges travelers to act quickly: “Amtrak is on sale nationwide, so book that fall trip, and fast. For a limited time, grab low fares to destinations across the country — and travel in comfort with space to relax.” Enjoy one-way fares starting at just $30 between Baltimore and Philadelphia, and $52 for trips from Baltimore to New York City. Longer journeys, such as Dallas to Los Angeles, are available for as low as $100, while New York City to Savannah starts at just $93.

Details and Restrictions

The sale applies exclusively to Amtrak’s flex fares, which offer greater flexibility than their value fare counterparts. However, some limitations apply: changes are not permitted, but passengers can cancel prior to departure for a 50 percent cancellation fee. Unfortunately, the sale is restricted to coach and Acela business class tickets and is not valid for certain routes including the Adirondack, Berkshire Flyer, Downeaster, and others.

Experience Fall Foliage by Rail

Amtrak offers one of the best ways to experience fall foliage across the United States. Routes like the Coast Starlight on the West Coast and the Capitol Limited from Washington, D.C., to Chicago provide breathtaking autumn views. Whether you’re planning a short trip or a cross-country adventure, now is the perfect time to take advantage of Amtrak’s fall sale and explore the beauty of the season by rail.
