12. "Last min travel on Amtrak" In response to Reply # 0
If your last min ticket price seemingly and unexpectedly skyrockets, check back in 20 mins. Also, select one of the discount options, even if you don't have the membership ID (AAA, Military, AARP, Disability) Conductors never check. And never pay for the flex fare upgrade price, or the trip insurance, they'll always let you change your ticket if you miss your train, by going to the counter or calling the 800 number and speaking to an actual person instead of "Julie".
