WASHINGTON, May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Great deals are
now available for students looking to get away during the summer,
travel home, see friends, or return to campus. Amtrak can help
students reconnect with friends, rediscover America and explore
places off the beaten path with its new student discount. Students
between the ages of 17 and 24 can receive 15% off travel throughout
the national network. Available at amtrak.com/student-discounts,
the offer is valid through December 30,
2021.
Parents can send their students on Amtrak with peace of mind
knowing that Amtrak is a fun and safe way for students to travel.
In fact, a number of cleaning, contact-free, and convenience
measures have been implemented into every part of the customer
journey, including:
- When searching for travel, customers will see the percentage of
seats sold that adjusts next to each route as passengers make
reservations. This will give customers the opportunity to book a
train that is less crowded. If capacity exceeds comfort levels,
customers can change their ticket without incurring a fee. There
are also no middle seats, making the ride more relaxing and
spacious.
- All trains are equipped with onboard filtration systems with a
fresh air exchange rate every 4-5 minutes.
- Federal law requires all customers and employees to wear a mask
at all times while onboard trains and in stations, regardless of
vaccination status or state or local laws. Refusing to wear a mask
is a violation of federal law; passengers may be subject to
penalties under federal law, denied boarding, removed from the
train and banned from future travel in the event of noncompliance.
For more information, visit: amtrak.com/coronavirus.
- Customers should not travel when experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
or when they meet public health criteria for quarantine.
To apply this discount, visit
amtrak.com/student-discounts or enter code V814 when booking a
trip on the Amtrak app. Terms and conditions may apply.
Valid student identification must be presented upon request.
This offer is valid for sale through December 30, 2021 and valid for travel
between May 19 and December 31, 2021
on most trains. Reservations are required one day prior to travel.
The discount may not be available on all trains on all days.
