[QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [QB] My "strong offense" didn't work when we were bussed last minute on a 14>28 connection. I told them I wanted to pay the additional rail fare for two PDX-SEA and overnight in Seattle at our own expense. Then we would catch the next days #8 where there was plenty of bedroom space, instead of the sold out #28 I was booked on. They said no go because you cannot break up 2 zone AGR trip. This would have freed up a bedroom on a long sold out #28, which would likely be resold and provide revenue to Amtrak (along with what I would pay PDX-SEA). The bedrooms on #7 never did sell out the day I wanted. If I were to do this and pay for it all, it would have been $1300 plus a waste of 20,000 points. They did later provide me a $500 voucher which I used for 2 sleeper trips west in the off season. My "forceful" argument was that the purpose of my trip was my first ride on the Starlight and the Oregon scenery. Besides, the bus from K-Falls was a clunker, the quick Subway meals we stopped for were at our own expense, and the Pasco station is not where you want to kill 2 hours waiting for #28. Amtrak would have come out several hundred dollars better by granting my request. [/QB][/QUOTE]
