Veterans can sit in comfort, instead of traffic, and save by avoiding the additional costs of driving, parking, tolls and gas. They can also enjoy one of the most generous baggage policies in the travel industry with up to four free bags and the ability to travel with small pets on many trains.

Reservations must be made for travel within the valid dates, according to Amtrak officials. Sale prices are available exclusively for coach travel on all service with the exception of Acela Express and 7000-8999 Thruways.
