“Be on time. Amtrak does not play! If you are just on time, you will probably be too late. Minimize the stress!" - MRM x LBDSAW
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE:
By Plane
1. Use an App like Expedia to book your flights and get the best rates. Check often &
early for pricing.
2. Pack light and check in on the App 24 hours prior to boarding to avoid checking in luggage at the airport.
3. Choose a window seat to get great photos or the aisle seat if you need to
frequently stretch or use the restroom.
Train
4. Download the Amtrak App, Join Amtrak Guest Rewards for Free and Rack up pointsfor future travel.
5. Board on the car closest to the Cafe’ car when at all possible. You won’t be far
from your seat.
6. Be on time. Amtrak does not play! If you are just on time, you will probably be too
late. Minimize the stress!
Or, Automobile
7. Pack more of what you want & need, but still keep it organized and downsized as much as possible.
8. If using Uber/Lyft to get you to the airport or train station, be sure to give yourself
enough time for any delays.
9. If renting a car, account for insurance, hold fees, toll policies and READ THE FINE
PRINT. Don’t get stuck paying more.
Bonus Tip
10. Plane: Buy 1 way tickets to rack up Expedia Points. Train: Overnight rides cut cost
on hotel stays. Automobile: Go to the bathroom right before you leave, fill up the
tank and enjoy the drive for as long as possible before stopping.
