With Thanksgiving around the corner, Amtrak is encouraging passengers to book their journeys early to secure the best fares and guaranteed seats before they sell out.

Last year, over 1.2 million people travelled on America’s Railroad during the busy holiday period. Amtrak is now forecasting record-breaking travel this Thanksgiving, reporting double-digit growth in early bookings compared with 2024.

This announcement comes as Amtrak also anticipates setting new records in revenue and ridership for fiscal year 2025, alongside strong customer satisfaction scores.

Amtrak Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Eliot Hamlisch said:

Amtrak offers a comfortable, convenient alternative to congested highways and crowded airports all year round – especially during the busy holiday season. Whether you’re a longtime guest or joining us for the first time, we invite you to experience the ease and hospitality of Amtrak as you travel to your holiday gatherings.

Travellers are advised to visit Amtrak’s website to review fares, schedules, and terms of use before booking their journeys.
