For others reading this, this not entirely accurate. Amtrak seems to sell seats in price bundles. Practically, if you're looking for a trip at a particular time and day, you'll find that seat prices will vary as bundles are sold through. To find a cheaper seat I: - Buy either a several weeks OR a few days before my trip. - Tend to travel Tues-Thursday. - Check repeatedly for a few days if I don't see the price I want. I travel a lot on the Northeast corridor and found that I can usually get a ticket for $25-30 that can be as high as $60-$120. Amtrak is 1000x better than driving for me because: - Free wifi and power at every seat. - Roomy seats and tons of legroom. - Zero security. - Quiet car. - Huge free baggage allowances. - No traffic. I love Amtrak. Definitely better than flying for these trips.
