Thinking of taking the ultimate Amtrak train journey? Watch this video first!
Amtrak’s California Zephyr will absolutely blow your mind!
With its unmatched scenery, Amtrak’s California Zephyr should top not just your train trip list, but your entire travel bucket list.
In this video, we’ll travel from Chicago to San Francisco onboard Amtrak’s California Zephyr in a luxurious Bedroom, the ultimate Amtrak Train accommodation.
In booking a roomette or bedroom can you request a certain side of the train? Will they know which direction a car is traveling?
My spouse and I will be. Riding the California Zephyr in November 2022 for a vacation. I loved watching your video and hope we have as good a time as you did.
Greetings,
My brother and I are reaching retirement age and are thinking of a land voyage with our wives sometime in the fall of 2024.
TheAmtrack Grand Canyon Getaway Roundtrip from Chicago has the appeal of biggest bang for the buck and I’d appreciate your suggestions on how to best get the very best deals in considering the dynamic pricing that you referred to.
I have just watched your video, Amtrak Roomette, Bedrooms, and Seat Compared. While a Bedroom Suite with it’s adjoining rooms might seem to be best suited, I think just a bit more separation may be preferred unless the suite (adjoining) is significantly cheaper.
Please advise.
Oh another detail…
I have reached out to 3 Travel Agents that are listed as Amtrack specialists. Are you familiar with any of them?

I’m not sure I can help. Sorry! I’d bet one of the travel agents you’ve reached out to will be able to offer some advice. Thanks for watching!
Is it suitable to bring kids age 5 and 3?
Hi Jeb,
I’m in Australia, travelling to the US in March ‘24. We are wanting to catch the California Zephyr from SF to Chicago. I can’t seem to find any prices for the Bedroom Suite accommodation. I realise the prices will most likely change before then, however a ball park figure would give us something to consider.
Cheers, Katrina
