New Standard of Travel [4] by including the following:
- Face coverings: For your well-being and ours, Amtrak requires that all customers and employees wear a face mask or covering that fully covers the entire mouth and nose while onboard and in stations.
- Limited Booking: We are limiting bookings on most trains to allow for more physical distancing in seating areas. Individuals traveling alone may use the seat next to them for personal belongings, while friends and family members will easily find seats together.
- Air Quality: All trains are equipped with onboard filtration systems with a fresh air exchange rate every 4-5 minutes.
- Physical distancing: Signage has been displayed at our busiest stations to indicate safe distances in high traffic areas. In addition, protective plastic barriers have been installed at customer counters at our busiest stations.
Advanced purchase is required at least 14 days prior to travel. Fares are one way (adult) and no additional discounts apply. Valid for Acela Business class seats and Northeast Regional Coach class only. Seating is limited; seats may not be available on all days. Once purchased, all sales are final with no exchange or refund value; exchanges and refunds can be processed upon customer request for purchases through Sept. 30, 2020. Once travel has begun, no changes to the itinerary are permitted. Blackout dates include Tuesday, Nov. 24, Wednesday, Nov. 25, and from Nov. 28-30. Other restrictions may apply.
