Amtrak Makes Pet-Friendly Travel a Bit Friendlier

Amtrak has extended and expanded its pets program, allowing customers to continue traveling with their small pets on many eastern corridor trains, and for trips up to 7 hours in length to most long distance trains.

With the program, people can travel with their dog or cat (with pet and carrier weighing under 20 pounds) for a $25 surcharge.

After a pilot program, Amtrak decided to allow the new rules on a more permanent basis. With it, passengers can travel with their pets to some of the most popular destinations served by Amtrak, including travel from Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
