Amtrak 2-for-1 roomette sale

Since international travel is largely out of the question this summer, domestic travel will be the name of the game. In an attempt to capitalize on this, Amtrak is offering private rooms at a discount to encourage people to go on an epic cross-country train journey.

Under the new 2-for-1 promotion, one person can buy a “roomette” and another person can join for free. Roomettes are private, located in the sleeping cars, and feature two seats on either side of a large window that turn into two berths at night. Each roomette has towels and linens, access to a private bathroom and shower, and includes all meals.

Prices start at $193 from Chicago to Minneapolis; $243 from Atlanta to New Orleans; $319 from Washington, DC, to Chicago; and $416 from New York City to Savannah. More options are available on Amtrak’s website. Discount fares can be booked via the Fare Finder, or using the code “V306” when booking through the Amtrak app.

Roomettes can be found on the California Zephyr, Capitol Limited, Cardinal, City of New Orleans, Coast Starlight, Crescent, Empire Builder, Lake Shore Limited, Silver Service, Southwest Chief, Sunset Limited, and Texas Eagle.

The deal is available for booking until July 17, for travel dates between July 13 and September 30.
