Amtrak has announced a limited-time “Falling Fares” sale offering discounts of up to 25% off regularly priced tickets on nearly every route across the United States. Travelers have until August 26, 2026 to book, with discounted travel valid from September 9 through November 13, 2026 — covering the heart of the autumn foliage season.
What the Sale Covers
The promotion applies to a broad range of routes nationwide, making it one of the wider fare reductions Amtrak has offered ahead of the fall travel period. Seats and eligible travel days are limited, and the discount applies to regularly priced fares only. Standard terms and conditions apply.
Northeast Corridor Highlights
Sample fares along the busy Northeast Corridor include Baltimore to New York City from $63, Boston to Providence, Rhode Island from $24, and Philadelphia to Washington, D.C. from $45. These routes are among the most frequently traveled in the Amtrak network and connect several major metropolitan areas along the East Coast.
Amtrak Guest Rewards
Passengers who are members of Amtrak Guest Rewards, the carrier’s free loyalty programme, will earn points on any qualifying tickets purchased during the sale. New members can enrol at no cost through the Amtrak website before booking.
The sale comes as rail travel continues to draw renewed interest from travelers seeking alternatives to highway congestion and short-haul flights during the busy autumn season. Amtrak is headquartered at 1 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, D.C. Full fare terms and conditions are available on the official Amtrak website.
