As with most modes of transport this summer, Amtrak trains have been thronged with passengers lately. But just like on an airline, upgrading to Amtrak business class garners a few extra perks that help take the stress out of traveling.
In some cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, and St. Louis, a business-class ticket even comes with complimentary access to Amtrak’s Metropolitan Lounges. At the larger stations, such as New York Penn Station’s Moynihan Train Hall, business-class riders can buy a day pass for $50.
