If the train has left the station, you're out of luck. If you wish to cancel this type of ticket, you are eligible for a full refund or full value eVoucher, but you must cancel your ticket at least 8 days prior to your trip. Unreserved tickets, however, must be canceled within one hour of purchase to get the full refund or full value eVoucher. As the name suggests, these fares are the most flexible when it comes to cancellation and refunds.
You can get a full refund to the original form of payment or a full-value eVoucher whenever you want, even after the scheduled departure. Like the Flexible Fares, you are eligible to get a full refund or full-value eVoucher at any time before departure. However, you must forfeit the ticket if you wish to cancel after the scheduled trip. What if I miss the train. Thread starter Judyjay Start date Jun 18, Judyjay Guest. We are taking Amtrak to NYC to catch a cruise ship. The ship is porting out of Brooklyn and I know the traffic can be crazy.
What happens if we miss the train on the return trip? I was just wondering if we do miss our train can we just catch the next one the next day with the same tickets, exchanged of course.
Or are we just out the first tickets and we have to buy new ones? You know how sometimes you just have a gut feeling about things. Well this is one of those times and I just want to be prepared. I checked the Amtrak website and found info on refunds before the train leaves, but not what happens if you miss the train.
Thanks for any info you can give me. VentureForth Engineer. If you're not booked a sleeper, what I would probably try to do is get a ticket for later and then grab an earlier train if you arrive on time subject to availability no matter which way you look at it. I would presume that a valid ticket carries a bit more weight than an expired unused ticket. Just a theory and my 2c. I believe that what you can do is turn the ticket in at the station for a credit for the fare price of the ticket, then apply that credit towards the purchase of a new ticket which will likely be more than the ticket you originally purchased.
So while you don't loose the value of your ticket, you also will probably end up paying more in the end. However, I've never actually done this, so someone else who has more experience in this area may want to chime in if I'm wrong.

Since sleeper reservations are for exact room numbers in exact car numbers. As such, you are only allowed to take the train you are ticketed for. To take an earlier or later train, you must change your reservation prior to your scheduled departure, but this is relatively easily done.
You can modify it through the mobile app, on the website, with an agent at the station, or over the phone, provided the reservation is associated with an email address, Amtrak Guest Rewards number, or other way that it can be looked up in their system. As per their current policy , Amtrak does not charge a change fee; however, you are subject to re-faring, so if the new ticket is more expensive than the one you booked, you will need to make up the difference.
In the event the new ticket is cheaper, you can receive the difference as an electronic voucher towards future Amtrak travel. Given this, it would be safer to book the later train, then change to the earlier one if your schedule works out. As far as I can tell from Amtrak's Terms and Conditions , there are no restrictions on modifying a ticket the same day. You do have to make the modification before the time of departure, though, or otherwise you'll be a "no-show" and you might forfeit any credits you might have received.
For all types of tickets, if your travel plans change and you do not modify or cancel your reservation before departure and then do not board your train, your entire reservation will be canceled, including all subsequent segments in the itinerary, and any remaining funds or points for that trip may be forfeited depending on the fare type purchased.
If permitted by the rules of the fare purchased, the money paid for the trip may be stored in an eVoucher valid for future travel. For most all? Amtrak fare classes, there is no "change fee" per se. But you'll have to pay any difference between the fare you paid in your original booking and the new fare, which can be substantial; Amtrak tickets on the day of travel can be rather expensive. You may find that it is not worth it to you to make the change.
