All Aboard: Amtrak Sale on Northeast Travel

POSTED BY
Evelyn Kanter

amtrak fare sale

All aboard for this Amtrak sale on fall travel between some of the most popular cities in the Northeast, for as little as $19.  

Go sightseeing, enjoy the beach, go back to college, visit family, or enjoy the spectacular fall foliage even holiday travel with these discount train tickets on sale today, July 30, through Thurs., Aug. 1st.

Get $29 tickets between NYC and Boston or Philadelphia, and $39 between NYC and DC, one way, and more discounted itineraries.

Book day trips, business trips or relaxing vacations at a 40% discount anywhere along the Northeast Corridor, between Virginia and Boston as well as Niagara Falls and Vermont, for travel beginning August 11 through January 31, 2020.

Hop aboard, get comfortable and skip the traffic while riding the rails to visit major cities (and smaller towns) in the Northeast for work, school, weekends of fun or family visits.

NYCOTC loves Amtak because you leave from downtown and arrive downtown, avoiding long, expensive trips to the airport, and even Turnpike and bridge tolls and high-priced gas that cost more than the train fare.

That makes Amtrak often faster, and always cheaper, than flying. Amtrak is my favorite way to travel between home in NYC and family, friends and business meetings in Philly, Boston and Washington, DC.

The popular Quiet Car provides a library-like atmosphere to relax or focus on an important project, there’s FREE Wi-Fi, lots of leg room, no middle seat, and most trains now allow pet owners to travel with small dogs or cats.

Once purchased, tickets are non-refundable. Others restrictions may apply.

Some of the special prices available in either direction during the sale include:
