This is your excuse to plan a trip away! Think of all the places you've wanted to go since the pandemic started. I know you have a list because the pandemic has made all of us a little stir crazy! Now is your chance to take the plunge! Splurge a little. We've all been through a lot this past year and a half. This is your time to treat yourself, and Amtrak seems to have you covered.

To celebrate Amtrak's 50th anniversary, the company is offering passengers 50% off fares with a maximum of $50.00 off. This deal can be applied to a one-way coach ticket or Acela business class fares.

The trip must be booked between now and May 5 for travel dates between June 2 and November 13, 2021. So get on it!
