Amtrak Discounts – 50% Off Tickets

If you’re wanting a train adventure to slow the pace of your travel down or just for a new adventure & way to see the countryside, Amtrak is having a special offer going on now which makes for some great Amtrak discounts. From now thru November 18, 2021, Amtrak is offering 50% off fares – but you have to book by tomorrow (9/9). Fares are $50 and under, with some routes starting at just $15 a ticket (Not available on all trains, including the Auto Train & restrictions do apply). Travel must happen between now and November 18, 2021.

Sample one way tickets from Portland to Seattle are just $18 for example!

What is it like to ride the train:

If you have ever wondered about train travel overnight, check out Sia’s experience with her family taking the Amtrak train to northwest Montana. It sounds like such a unique way to travel & experience the countryside.

Sample Route Prices for this Sale:

A sample route for the trip Sias family took above (Seattle To Whitefish MT), with this Amtrak discounts is $49/ea way in Coach seating (so just $49 per person)! Or Portland, OR to Seattle, Wa for $18/ea way. Those are fantastic prices for travel if you are looking for a budget friendly alternative. Another route from Seattle that I have always enjoyed is Seattle to Vancouver. It is beautiful if you can travel when you might hit some snow.

This sale is as good (maybe better) as the popular BOGO free train tickets and an excellent way to try out train travel to see if it is a good fit for you. Some folks love it, and others don’t so this is the perfect time to find out which camp you fall into – with these discounted rates.
