Can you get a refund if Amtrak is late?

What Kind of Refund for Delayed Trains Can I Get From Amtrak? If your train's delay is a result of a force majeure event, Amtrak will issue a refund to the original payment method, complying with the refund rules for the unused portion of your ticket.

What happens if late for Amtrak?

You will need to go to the ticket window and exchange tickets for a later train. There will be no penalty, but they'll charge you for any difference in fare, and you'll lose the AAA discount too since most discounts require a 3-day advance purchase. There is also the slight risk that the next train could be sold out.

How does Amtrak seating work?

Each passenger paying a fare will be entitled to a seat, to the extent coach seats are available. Passengers are entitled to one seat per fare, to ensure other paying passengers are not excluded. Unless specific seats are reserved, seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Can you get up and walk around on an Amtrak train?

You're allowed to walk about the train as often as you'd like. Just make sure to watch where you're walking onboard the train between cars. The safety plates often shift and pinch when the train is in motion.
