While traveling, customers can have a renewed sense of confidence with the following safety efforts Amtrak has implemented with the guidance of a medical director and partnership with George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health:

  • Face coverings: Please be advised Federal law requires all customers and employees to wear a mask at all times while on board trains and in stations, regardless of vaccination status or state or local laws. Refusing to wear a mask is a violation of federal law; passengers may be subject to penalties under federal law, denied boarding, removed from the train, and banned from future travel in the event of noncompliance.
  • Air Quality: Customers can travel with extra confidence knowing all our trains are equipped with onboard filtration systems with a fresh air exchange rate every 4-5 minutes.
  • Real-time seat availability: Amtrak is no longer limiting capacity. When searching for travel, the percentage of seats sold displays next to each trip option and adjusts as more reservations are made, which allows customers to book a less crowded train. If capacity exceeds comfort levels, customers can change their tickets without incurring a fee (a fare difference may apply).
  • Fee waivers: Amtrak is waiving all change fees for reservations made by Sept. 6, 2021.
  • Amtrak app: The Amtrak app makes contact-free travel easy. Customers can book, board, check train status, and access information from the convenience and safety of a mobile device. Amtrak encourages boarding with eTickets, which conductors scan from the app.

This offer is not combinable with any other discount offer and upgrades are not permitted. The sale is not available on Pennsylvanian/Keystone, San Joaquins, and Capitol Corridor trains and 7000-8999 Thruways. Once purchased sales are not refundable, but exchanges are permitted before scheduled departure. A 25% cancellation fee may apply. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all trains at all times. Fares, routes, and schedules are subject to change without notice. Once travel has begun no changes to the itinerary are permitted. Other restrictions may apply.
