Travelers planning train trips this winter can save money during Amtrak’s winter flash sale.

The nationwide sale, which launched Thursday, is good for coach class seats on some of Amtrak’s most popular trains as well as business class seats on Acela. The discount, which is available through Nov. 14, is good for trips taken between Dec. 2 and March 15, 2025.

“Discounts offered during the National Winter Travel Flash Sale provide guests the opportunity to take convenient, comfortable, and more sustainable trips between the biggest cities in the country — New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Boston — aboard the Acela or experience some of the country’s most spectacular landscapes on other trains to Chicago, Los Angeles or Dallas,” said Eliot Hamlisch, executive vice president and chief commercial officer for Amtrak, in a statement.

Travelers can also score Acela business fares for as low as $49 each way from Boston to Providence, R.I., and $72 each way from Boston to New York, N.Y.

Travelers should note that trips must take place on Monday through Thursday or on Saturdays, availability is limited, and the following are blackout dates: Dec 24 & 26; Jan 1, Jan 17-20, and Feb 17, 2025.

The winter flash sale discount may be combined with Amtrak’s everyday discounts.
