> Several of these Amtrak train options are excellent two-night “land

> They’re designed for two travelers, with comfortable daytime seats

> arrangement, this is your best chance in years. Two-night trip
> options include the California Zephyr, Empire Builder, Southwest
> Chief, and Sunset Limited.

A passenger just sent me a PM. He just booked. Orlando-New York
for two, $333.

"Nice Discount," he wrote.

Every day I tried on the Texas Eagle shows sold out - Your mileage will vary.

It mentions "electrical outlets" as an in room feature.
It is a "single" outlet!

Hmm... Kinda like Southwest "Gotta Get Away" pricing?
