Alllll aboard! There’s nothing quite like trading Southern California traffic for a comfortable train ride, especially when you can snag a fall getaway for less.
For a limited time, Amtrak is offering at least 25% off select fares nationwide. It gives travelers a chance to plan everything from quick coastal escapes to longer holiday trips without paying full price.
When is Amtrak’s fall fare sale?
The limited-time sale is available through September 30, 2026.
Discounted fares are only valid for travel between October 14 and December 17, 2026, with certain blackout dates and other restrictions applying.
Because fares are subject to availability, the cheapest prices may not be available for every departure.
How to book the Amtrak fall sale
Travelers can search eligible routes and book their discounted tickets through Amtrak’s website.
What discounts can you get from Los Angeles?
One of the standout deals for Angelenos is the trip from Los Angeles to San Diego for as little as $36 one way.
The sale applies to select Amtrak fares nationwide, so travelers can also check other routes when planning their next fall getaway.
If you’re looking for an easy fall escape from L.A., a $36 train ride could be a pretty tempting alternative to spending hours on the freeway.
