Yep rode on this line around 5 times. Definitely get the business class instead of economy, especially if it's close or rush hour or weekends. It's a way better experience and isn't much more expensive, only 10-20$ more so from a 45$ ticket you would maybe have to pay 60$ but if it's a longer trip trust me it's worth the upgrade.
@@mattsmoments2 great video btw, if there is one thing you could add maybe that would be a more comprehensive review of your sitting area, otherwise very well put together
Hi Matt, is it always has a observation car in this route? In this month we will be traveling from Santa Fe Depot to Anaheim, and I want to know if it's worth paying the business class ticket for the observation car.
@@mattsmoments2 how full does the business class seats fill up in San Diego? Could I get an ocean side seat in the Solana Beach depot or does in fill up in San Diego
So there are seats facing forward on the beach side? I read somewhere that the only ones that face forward on the northbound route are reserved for groups and they're strict about it. I'm VERY prone to motion sickness so just want to make sure I get a forward facing seat.

Thank you for the good feedback

Thank you for the feedback will do.
Gréât vidéo. Thanks to share it
Thank you and my pleasure. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Cool little train ride. I hope I will get to go this summer 😁
Hopefully so! You’d add a cameo to the vlog lol

From what I know and have heard it’s not always a guarantee. I thought it was. Fingers crossed for your journey
Did you need to change trains in Irvine? On the Amtrak website it says 2 segments, LA to San Diego.
Cool video & Thanks!
This was a couple of years ago and it was the same train. I’m unsure why the segments nowadays unless there’s track issues
Just looked and a few weeks back a landslide happened knocking out tracks
@@mattsmoments2 Ohh, good to know. Thanks!

@greggoodman5568 I’ve only done this route twice and I feel the majority of the passengers were in coach class both times.

Good question. Maybe opt for business. I coulda swore I saw seats facing both ways on the beach side. Could be wrong. Fingers are crossed for you.
@@mattsmoments2 cool thank you!
Can i chose my seat or they choose it for me?
From my experience when I went you can choose your own on this route.
In Business class you are guaranteed a seat. Coach you are not and may end up standing. Totally worth the extra $
a serious question is migration on that train because I want to travel on that train
I’m not sure
Is the beer free on business
Not on this route. Or at the time of filming and enjoying the journey it was a la carte.
Is it on the trolley?
Can you point to it?
I’m unsure what you are asking
In the bussiness class right now, only for 1 beer. Not worth it at all
No mention of Fullerton station how dare you
Not sure of the stop. lol. My apologies. Sometimes I don’t mention all stops.
