All aboard, San Diego! There’s nothing quite like trading the pain of the I-5 for a relaxing, scenic train ride up the coast. And now, you can score a fall getaway for less.
For a limited time, Amtrak is offering at least 25% off select fares nationwide. This fall sale gives locals the perfect excuse to plan everything from a quick coastal day trip to Los Angeles to a longer holiday vacation. All without paying full price – who doesn’t love a good deal?
What discounts can you get from San Diego?
One of the standout deals for San Diegans is the scenic Pacific Surfliner route from San Diego up to L.A. for as little as $36 one way.
Because the sale applies to select Amtrak fares nationwide, you can also check for discounts on routes venturing even further north or across the country.
When is Amtrak’s fall fare sale?
The limited-time sale runs through September 30, 2026, so hurry up and book your tickets!
Discounted fares are valid for travel between October 14 and December 17, 2026 (certain blackout dates and restrictions apply). Because fares are subject to availability, the cheapest tickets may not be available for every single departure. It pays to be flexible!
Ready to head up the coast? You can search eligible routes and book your discounted tickets directly through Amtrak’s website. Happy travels!
