Amtrak cuts Northeast fares 25 pct through summer
Amtrak said today it has slashed fares on its Northeast Regional trains by 25 percent through the summer as long as passengers purchase at least 14 days in advance.
Amtrak is also extending the same deal on the faster Acela Express trains through the summer as well. The current Acela deal was set to expire June 26.
The new 25-percent deal is good for travel from June 2 through September 3.
The 25-percent discount also applies to Keystone service between Philadelphia and New York, and service south of Washington, to Newport News, on Amtrak’s Vermonter.
On the Northeast Regional trains you’ll be able to get a one-way ticket between New York City and Washington D.C. for $49 rather than the current $72; NYC to Philadelphia for $34 rather than $45; NYC and Boston for $49 rather than $62; or NYC and Baltimore for $48 instead of $64.
Acela fares from New York are as low as $99 to Washington and $79 to Boston.
Although restrictions apply, the deals can be paired with Amtrak’s everyday Kid’s Half Price fare for up to two children ages 2 to 15.
