Recently I ve seen people on social media taking Amtrak trains across the country and glamorizing their experiences. As someone who loves to travel by plane, I ve always been wary of a long-haul train ride. But on this trip, I wanted to try something different, so I gave this new travel trend a shot.
I booked a small room which Amtrak calls a roomette that sleeps two people for $550. Amtrak s booking site. Amtrak
At first I was surprised by the price of the trip. Flying from New York to Chicago could cost as little as $70 on a good day, which means it would cost significantly more to take the Amtrak.
