Amtrak has extended a popular buy one ticket and get one free offer until May 20. If you've been hankering to visit San Antonio, Austin, Dallas or Fort Worth, St. Louis, Chicago, Tucson, El Paso, Los Angeles or one of the many other cities served by the Texas Eagle you have some extra time to cash in.
What's brought about this money saving offer? In the past two years, passengers on Texas Eagle trains have experienced delays or been forced to ride on buses due to construction of a third north-south mainline track in the Fort Worth, Texas, Tower 55 project, the higher speed rail construction between Chicago and St. Louis and significant weather events on the route. So to celebrate the completion of track upgrades and anticipated reduction in track delays in 2016, the Texas Eagle Local Revenue Management team, in conjunction with the Texas Eagle Route Director and Amtrak Central Division Marketing, started a special promotion for passengers between January and March 2016. It has turned out to be so popular that the offer has been extended into the shoulder season and ends May 20.
Passengers will receive a free companion coach rail fare when they buy one regular (adult) fare. The ticket must be purchased at least one day in advance of travel between now and May 15, 2016, for travel until May 20, 2016.
These fares may be upgraded to a sleeper after paying for an accommodation charge. The promotion is valid for travel only on the Texas Eagle. It is not valid for local travel between Chicago and St. Louis, or for local travel between San Antonio and Los Angeles. Fares are subject to availability, and seating is limited. You must use discount code V344 when booking the fare.
