Amtrak Begins Charging for Extra Bags Tomorrow
Tomorrow—Thursday, October 1—Amtrak will undergo a fairly serious charge: It will begin enforcing “long-standing baggage rules that limit travelers to four items—two small personal ones and two standard carry-ons—with fees.” Bags beyond what these rules allow will now come at a $20 fee, and only two extra bags (even with fees) will be tolerated. Make sure you know this before your next trip with Amtrak—and read more about the change on Slate here.
