Are you traveling for the holiday season, but aren’t interested in breaking the bank to see your loves ones? If you aren’t traveling too far, you might be interested in Amtrak. One of the good things about being age 62+ is the senior discount you receive on a lot of things! The popular railroad service, Amtrak, offers a 15% discount on rail fare on most Amtrak trains for age 62+.

Amtrak also offers a service called Amtrak Vacations, where they will plan your whole trip for you! The service will book your train tickets and hotel accommodations ensuring that you have a hassle-free vacation from the start. They will even arrange any sightseeing, including theatre and event tickets, you might want to do and if you need to rent a car, they’ll take care of that, too!

I enjoy taking the train from where I live in Michigan to Chicago; it’s hassle free and I don’t have to worry about where I’m going to park my car in the city. With the ridiculous prices of plane tickets and the constant delays that you deal with when flying, I would much rather take the train! It’s cheaper and more convenient.
