According to Amtrak, when one person buys a ‘roomette’ they can have a companion join for free. Roomettes are offered on routes around the country and are found in the sleeping car. They have two seats that can convert to upper and lower berths at night. Each has their own window, fresh towels and linens and access to a private restroom and shower. This latest deal is available from 11 to 15 August, for travel from August 14 through September 30.

Roomettes are available on the California Zephyr, Capitol Limited, Cardinal, City of New Orleans, Coast Starlight, Crescent, Empire Builder, Lake Shore Limited, Silver Service, Southwest Chief, Sunset Limited and Texas Eagle.
