Amtrak has launched a limited-time USA Rail Pass promotion, giving travellers a heavily discounted way to explore the United States by train as the country approaches its 250th anniversary. For a short period, the popular rail pass is available for $250, offering a saving of $249 on the usual price.
The offer is available to purchase until January 20 and includes up to 10 train journeys taken within a 30-day period. That works out at just $25 per trip, providing access to around 500 destinations across Amtrak’s nationwide network. From major coastal cities to smaller towns and scenic routes far from the motorway, the pass opens up a wide range of travel possibilities.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the USA Rail Pass allows passengers to book journeys on the fly and adjust plans easily. Routes and travel dates can be changed as long as this is done before the scheduled departure time, making the pass particularly appealing for longer trips or more spontaneous travel.
Amtrak is encouraging passengers to see rail travel as more than simply a means of getting from A to B. Travelling by train offers the chance to slow down, enjoy the scenery and experience parts of the country that are often overlooked when travelling by car or plane. Onboard, passengers can relax, strike up conversations with fellow travellers and let the journey itself become part of the adventure.
The USA Rail Pass can be purchased online at www.amtrak.com. With the promotion ending on January 20, it is likely to appeal to both domestic travellers and international visitors looking for an affordable, flexible and immersive way to discover the United States by rail. Other terms and conditions apply.
