Amtrak is making it easier to travel up the East Coast and experience fall and winter fun with less traffic with a new Auto Train sale, offering tickets starting as low as $34.
To take advantage of the sale, travelers must book by Aug. 29 and travel between Sept. 9 and Dec. 15, Amtrak shared with Travel + Leisure. The sale is only available for northbound travel on the train.
“All Aboard (including your vehicle)!” Amtrak wrote in a statement shared with T+L. “Amtrak is giving customers the opportunity to skip the airport security line, and nearly 900 stressful miles of driving on I-95 with discounted fares on the Auto Train.”
As part of the sale, tickets start at $34 for adults in coach and start at just $17 for children 2 to 12 years old. Roomettes are also on sale, starting at just $235 for single occupancy and $335 for double occupancy, as are private bedrooms, which start at $435 for single occupancy and $535 for double occupancy.
However, it's worth noting, the sale does exclude several blackout dates, including Nov. 8 to Nov. 10, Nov. 22 to Nov. 27, and Nov. 29 to Dec. 1.
The ticket fare also does not include the cost of a vehicle, which can include cars, vans, and motorcycles with the price depending on the type.
The Auto Train operates nonstop between Sanford, FL, and Lorton, VA, and takes about 17 and a half hours to complete. While on board, passengers receive a complimentary continental breakfast before arrival in coach, while travelers in private Roomettes or bedrooms are treated to complimentary meals, priority boarding, and a dedicated first class attendant. Each private bedroom also features an in-room sink, restroom, and shower.
Amtrak, which recently changed its fare structure, offers two fare options: “value” and “flex.” Both options are available on the Auto Train. However, the sale fare includes a 50 percent cancellation fee and changes are not permitted in coach, and includes a 25 percent cancellation fee for private rooms when canceled up to 120 days before departure.

Clarksville, a historic district of Austin, Texas, has lately emerged as a stylish dining and shopping enclave. Among the area’s most compelling new businesses is La Embajada, a design shop housed in a 1923 Craftsman bungalow. Combining the hospitality and interiors expertise of its founder, Raul Cabra — who has designed tableware for some of Mexico City’s most celebrated restaurants, including Rosetta and Pujol — La Embajada presents a refined, regionally diverse selection of Mexico’s artisanal offerings. A series of small rooms display vintage and contemporary furniture, from stately midcentury armchairs and 1970s glass sconces to a minimalist agave fiber rug by the Oaxaca-based textile artist Trine Ellitsgaard. The house is also an actual residence. Cabra often stays in the bedroom up the creaky stairs, and he’s recently made it available for short-term stays (bookings include a daily basket of baked goods from Austin’s Swedish Hill). Guests can purchase the room’s handmade décor, such as a pair of sleek bedside lamps in milky white onyx, a 1960s La Malinche dresser and a bedspread from a Michoacan manufacturer that once supplied Herman Miller. Downstairs, glassware, candles and gifts fill a section modeled after a typical general store in a small Mexican town. But La Embajada’s heart is its inviting kitchen, where visiting chefs cook elaborate meals and staff prepare ice cream and coffee. In another twist, every bespoke detail — including a hammered copper sink, caramel-colored tiles and waxed pine cabinets — can be custom-ordered for one’s own home.
