The sale, which must be booked by Aug. 7, is available on travel nationwide from Aug. 14 to Oct. 31, according to the rail company. And to make travel even easier, there are no blackout dates or promo code required to book.
“Amtrak is on sale nationwide, so book that fall trip, and fast,” Amtrak wrote in a statement. “For a limited time, grab low fares to destinations across the country — and travel in comfort with space to relax.”

Travelers can cross the country from Dallas to Los Angeles starting at just $100 each way, or head down to warmer climes with tickets from New York City to Savannah starting at just $93 each way.
The sale is available on Amtrak’s Flex fares. The company, which changed its fare structure last year, now offers two fare options of “value” and “flex.”
Changes are not permitted with the sale, but passengers can cancel prior to departure for a 50 percent cancellation fee. Upgrades are also not allowed.
The sale is only available for coach and Acela Business class tickets.
The sale is not valid on the Adirondack, Berkshire Flyer, Carl Sandburg, Downeaster, Empire Service, Ethan Allen, Illini, Illinois Zephyr, Lincoln Service, Maple Leaf, Pacific Surfliner, Saluki, or intra-Virginia routes. The sale is also not available on the Borealis route except between Chicago and Milwaukee.

Riots have erupted throughout England and Northern Ireland over the past week in the wake of the killing of three children in a small town near Liverpool.A 17-year-old attacked the children with a knife while they attended a dance class. In addition to three dead, eight other kids were wounded in the incident, per media reports.While the alleged perpetrator was born and raised in Britain, rumors had initially circulated on social media that the individual was an immigrant. Since then, more than 400 people have been arrested in connection with violent riots taking place and the U.K.’s National Police Chiefs’ Council has implemented a “united and robust policing response” throughout the country.The riots in the country started in Southport, England, but have since spread to Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds, Belfast, London, and other locations. Media reports have also indicated that the protestors have expressed anti-immigration and Islamophobic sentiments during the riots. Amid these protests, the media has released images of police in riot gear and backdrops of smoke and fire. And now, a flurry of countries have begun issuing travel advisories for the U.K. In an update issued as of August 5, Australia is recommending that its citizens “exercise a high degree of caution” when traveling to the United Kingdom. “Avoid areas where protests are occurring due to the potential for disruption and violence,” says the Australia advisory. “Monitor the media for information and updates. Follow the instructions of local authorities.” Additionally, the UAE, Nigeria, Malaysia, India, and Indonesia have issued new U.K. travel warnings amid the spate of violence.While the United States has not yet released its own updated advisory for the U.K., American travelers may naturally be wondering whether it’s safe to visit at the moment.
