Michael Smith+FollowAmtrak’s Secret Best Deal? The Roomette!After 95 hours riding Amtrak in every class (yep, even the fancy bedroom), I swear the roomette is the move. It’s a private mini-cabin with beds, meals, and just enough space to feel cozy—not cramped. I tried coach, business, first class, and even splurged on the big bedroom, but nothing beats splitting a roomette with a friend. It’s like a rolling tiny home for half the price of the big suite. If you’re train-curious, this is the upgrade to snag! #Transportation #AmtrakAdventures #TrainTravel211Share
Joe Gallagher+FollowWhy Train Travel Might Be Your Next ObsessionEver thought about ditching the airport chaos for a cross-country train ride? Amtrak lets you soak up epic views—think deserts, forests, and even crashing Pacific waves—without worrying about TSA lines or cramped airplane seats. The observation car is basically a moving IMAX, and you can actually stretch your legs at stops. Downsides? It’s way slower than flying, and sleeping in coach can be rough. But with roomy seats, private rooms, and routes like the Coast Starlight and California Zephyr, the journey is half the adventure. Pro tip: Book tickets early for the best deals! #TrainTravel #AmtrakAdventures #TravelTips #ScenicRoutes #Wanderlust #Transportation00Share
Traci Keller+FollowLakeland’s Secret Midnight Train HackDid you know Lakeland’s Amtrak station is a hidden gem for spontaneous adventures? Over 22,800 riders hopped on last year, and you can too! Pro tips: check the travel map for routes, use LAK/LKL codes (north/south), and snag tickets online or in person. Coach seats save cash, but private rooms = max comfort. Pack up—two checked bags, two carry-ons, and even your pet can ride! Just remember: no overnight parking, so grab a ride. Who’s ready for a midnight escape? #LakelandFL #AmtrakAdventures #TravelTips #HiddenGems #Transportation00Share
Justin Dixon+Follow4 Rookie Mistakes on My $400 Amtrak RideSpent $400 on a 15-hour Amtrak roomette from Denver to Salt Lake City and still managed to mess up! Next time, I’m definitely calling ahead for a top-floor room (the views are way better), packing snacks (mid-afternoon hunger is real), waiting for the meal call before barging into the dining car (awkward), and never skipping a rest stop again (my legs needed it).
