We all love a buy-one, get-one promotion, especially when it involves train travel—which is why we're oh-so-excited about Amtrak’s latest “Twice as Nice Sale.” The best part? The promotion involves seats in a private roomette. That’s right: you and a bestie or rompartner can sit in your own compartment with a sliding glass door, private and secluded.
The roomette comes with free meals on board the train: three squares and even a glass of wine or beer at dinner. You also get access to train lounges at stations equipped with them, so you'll want to arrive early and enjoy a snack in a pleasant space before your train departs.
Back to the roomette: at night, expect an Amtrak staff member will come in and help you convert the two seats that face each other, with a table in between, into a single bed, and then pull down the second, higher bunk bed from the wall. Consider it a sleepover party and, believe us, you will rest like a baby on the gently rocking train.
To make use of the promotion, you’ll need to book a roomette and use the code C121. The code works from now until Saturday, November 1, so if you have your eye on travel, book it ASAP.
A few things to keep in mind: the promotion is valid on travel between November 1 and January 31, 2026. You'll also have to include the name of your (free) companion at the time of booking. Needless to say, select wisely: you'll be reveling in an epic trip in small quarters.
Need some inspiration? The offer is good on many of Amtrak’s prettiest routes, including the California Zephyr, Cardinal, City of New Orleans, Coast Starlight, Crescent, Empire Builder, Floridian, Lake Shore Limited, Silver Meteor, Southwest Chief, Sunset Limited, the Texas Eagle and the northbound route of the Auto Train (Sanford, Florida to Lorton, Virginia).
