19hrs in Amtrak Coach (Economy) from New York to Chicago for $68 each (First time in @amtrak)

I want to travel with you all. By the time I would get to Chicago I would weigh 10 pounds more, but I would be happy😅👍😉🫶 BTW, I subscribed because I want to travel more with you all - beautiful family ☺️

The kids loved Amtrak because your parents made it so much fun. You were well prepared and you completed the assignment. So that is a memory that you created for your children that they will remember forever. Nice job parents.

I really like your attitude about travel! It is all about excitement and wonder. Too many people complain so much, they miss the point. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.

I'm sitting here smiling from ear to ear!! May God bless you and keep your hearts full of Joy!!!

Train travel is one of life’s great pleasures.

This is one of the best coach-class Amtrak videos I've seen, and there are a LOT of them!. Great job, subscribed!

Great job on the video! This really shows how it looks to ride economy and it doesn’t look bad at all. Personally, I would be challenged with sitting so long but you did a great job demonstrating what the ride would be like. Thank you!

Your kids are wonderful and well behaved. You are wonderful parents! Making these menories with your kids is priceless!! Bless you all from Ohio!!

I never expected a video of regular folks traveling would be so much fun, but you guys pulled it off! Thank you for taking me on your trip! 😊

One of the very best videos of this route trip / ride for Amtrak !! 👍👍The mom is beautiful & she can cook & their kids are very well behaved & handsome boys !! The dad is a very lucky man !! I loved your enthusiasm & I totally can relate to your feelings & being a bit emotional & sentimental at the end of this video ( ride ) & swearing you'd ride on an Amtrak train ,again !! That was what & how I felt when I took an Amtrak train to San Diego from L.A. a few years ago !! ( it was not my 1st time taking Amtrak ,though ) The staff were so caring & so nice to us ,too !! We rode in a business class. We loved our souvenir boxes from them ,too ! I am very glad to know you guys were very comfortable in coach class seats for 19 hrs .!!! 👍👍I'd love to do this ,too ~!! I'll bring my own meals & snacks as well ! That was a hefty volume of snacks you brought in ,though !! 😅 Haha. I wanna try some of that vegan BBQ 🍔, too !! 😋 I am currently planning to take this route with mom in a wheelchair. So ,debating between this & a roommate, but it's gonna be super expensive to do the round trip from L.A.if we'll do all sleepers cars plus our cruise to England from N.Y. !!! Lol 😅But,we are very determined & excuted for our trip together !!! Thanks for this wonderful video !! It was really great !! I really enjoyed !! You said it felt like a short trip & you wanted more ! I felt this video went really quickly as I really enjoyed !! Which is not really often the case for a long video ! 👏👏👏💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🚈🍽💕💞

Your video made my husband and I confident we could do this journey in coach - thank you! We sleep all the time on overnight planes and this is so much better. Your kid's reaction to the journey ending was so cute.

We did Washington, D.C. to Chicago a month ago in Coach. We brought sandwiches and froze bottles of water. They thawed and were nice and cold.

This was a lovely video and you are a lovely family. You made your children’s trip a wonderful one. I love traveling by train too. So glad you are introducing a new generation to train travel. 😊

I always travel coach because it fits my budget and I meet more people. Thank you for your lovely video. Most people who do videos are grumpy when they are in coach. You show that it is a matter of attitude. You chose to be happy and think it is a great trip.

An absolutely delightful family, the kind I love to meet up with whenever I am on Amtrak.

A beautiful family of four. Mom always smiles.

Eye masks and ear plugs are my go to so I don’t wake up at overnight stops. Loved the video!

Writing from Australia and having done this journey as part of a trans-Amtrak across America holiday, it was so gratifying to see newbie Amtrak travellers who had such a positive experience. Yes, compared to airline seats, Amtrak coach is almost as good as Business class. Happy and customer focused train staff also make for a positive journey experience. Wait till you eventually travel in the Amtrak SuperLiner cars.

I love Amtrak also. Thanks for taking us along.

LOVED the outtakes at the end. Thank you for sharing. Fun stuff!!!
