  • one of my best Amtrak steals to date is $44 Acela first class from DC-NY. they had a sale last summer and was able to grab a cheap ticket and use an upgrade coupon. the starr lasagna and lobster mac n cheese (from another upgrade coupon) tasted great but honestly the breakfast menu looks pretty enticing. but if you want the best seats on the corridor, book the Palmetto or Pennsylvanian which have Amfleet II coach seats often at the same price as the Northeast Regional.
  • Really looking forward to the new Liberty trains but I'll miss the Acela. It's a pretty train.
  • Glad to see the footage I sent of this one! Great to see the trip was a success, and can't wait for the other one I got! Also, have fun in Asia!
  • I did the Acela in Business Class on my return trip home from Philly back in June 2023. I definitely hope to do it in First Class soon.
  • @mattkane5468
    Always fun to be waiting on the station platform in New Brunswick when an Acela comes flying through. Northeast Regionals and Keystones go by in a hurry too!
  • OMG the Portal Bridge will be missed when the new bridge opens. It's a disgrace that it took so long to get a replacement but better late than never.
  • @davepov
    I always enjoy your videos. You have a unique narrative style and more than enough info in your videos. Nice job!
  • The Acela Express is the only Amtrak route not to include standard coach class seats but instead mainly business class seats and the only route to feature first class like in airplanes.
  • @neil1030
    I look forward to riding the new Acela soon and hoping they aren't delayed yet again.
  • @vivyan92
    Hopefully you'll get the ride the Borealis for the new Amtrak route to the Twin Cities from Chicago.
  • I was looking forward to this one and it didn't disappoint! The pace of your editing and variety of shots gets better and better every time. Thanks and glad you are still putting out new videos.
  • As a solo traveler the value of first class is not having a seatmate. I like to look out the window, and until recently, you could not select a seat in business. The lounge in NYC is lovely, too.
  • Good information, and I would love to see other high speed corridors with Acela trains.
  • I look forward to your videos. I have my first long trip in November. Thank you for these videos 🌺❤️
  • I enjoyed the Video. It's nice to see that Amtrak is Steadily Improving It's Railway Service as described in your Video. Nice Video . I really enjoyed seeing the Speed of the ACELA.
