Amtrak has announced extra capacity for the Thanksgiving rush. From November 20 to 30, select Northeast Regional trains will run with extra cars, and Amtrak is adding two extra Washington DC – New York round trips on November 24–25 and November 28–29.

Thanksgiving week is one of the busiest travel periods in the United States, and the added trains will sell out. If your trip is on the Northeast Corridor, booking early is the difference between a seat and a sold-out screen.

Pack for a full train

Extra cars help, but overhead racks and luggage space still fill fast on holiday trains. Travelling with carry-on only keeps you mobile: our airtight compression bags press the air out of clothes by hand — no pump — so a long weekend fits in one bag that slides into the rack.
