Adult & Infant Discounts

Adult

Adult passengers, between the ages of 16 and 61, may take advantage of advance booking discounts on most trains across the Amtrak system. A range of fares may apply and are based on availability. Lower fares are more widely available at certain times of the year.

Amtrak Railagent will quote and price your travel at the lowest fare available at the time you make your reservation.

On unreserved trains, the lowest fares may be restricted during peak travel periods.

Changes to your itinerary may affect the fare, and a fee may apply when tickets are reissued.

Some discount fares may require purchase in advance of travel, and be non-refundable.

Certain fares are subject to significant cancellation penalties.

Infant

Infants are classified as passengers that are less than 2 years of age.

All infants must be accompanied by an adult. Infants ride on the lap of the adult.

One infant per fare-paying adult is entitled to travel free on Amtrak.

Additional infants per adult must travel at the child or adult fare.

An infant traveling free may occupy a vacant seat only if the seat is not needed for a paying passenger. Conductors may require that infants occupying a seat without paying a fare be removed to provide seating to a fare-paying passenger.
