While we love our city, and we equally love the occasional weekend escape, one’s thing for sure: nobody actually enjoys the drive up the I-5. Between Oceanside and the mystery slowdowns near Irvine, heading north is usually a headache. Thankfully, the Pacific Surfliner has been a life-saver for many of us, whether we’re looking at business or fun trips. They recently added even more daily trips, which means more departure times, less waiting around, and a lot more flexibility if you’re trying to catch a concert or a game. But if the thing holding you back was price, we’ve got great news!
Spring discounts on the Pacific Surfliner
To celebrate the expanded schedule, they’re offering a 20% discount on roundtrip tickets. You just need to use promo code V526 when booking. The deal is good for travel through March 13, 2026.
If you haven’t taken the train in a while, it’s time to give it a go. To be honest, it’s a welcome vibe shift compared to driving. You get reclining seats, free Wi-Fi, and power outlets. Oh, and if you’re looking to start the party early and get the pre-drinks going, there’s even a cafe car stocked with snacks and local craft beer. Also – instead of staring at brake lights, you get sweeping ocean views basically the entire way up the coast.
Whether you’re heading to LA for the day, or riding all the way up to Santa Barbara for a weekend trip, this is a great time to skip the traffic and save a little cash.
