WASHINGTON — Amtrak has announced a three-day sale on its Northeast Regional service, but you’ll have to act fast to get the cheaper tickets.
The Northeast Regional Three Day Sale runs Jan. 16 through Jan. 18, but it does cover a travel window that’s more than a month and includes the Presidents Day holiday weekend.
Tickets bought by midnight on Jan. 18 are good for travel on the Northeast corridor from Feb. 5 through March 15, and Amtrak says there are no blackout dates.
Sample fares from D.C.’s Union Station include $29 one-way fares to Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station and $47 one-way fares to New York’s Penn Station.
The Northeast Regional runs from Boston to Virginia Beach.
On Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor service, between D.C. and Boston, ridership reached 12 million in fiscal 2017, the Northeast Corridor’s highest ever ridership.
