Booking tips that save money

Two people in one Roomette often costs little more than one, because the room price covers both.
Florida trains (Auto Train, Silver Meteor, Floridian) fill fast from October to January heading south.
Senior, child and other discounts apply on many trains. Tell us everyone's age.
