Amtrak allows passengers to bring baggage on board their trains, but baggage allowances and fees may vary depending on the route and ticket type. Adding a baggage allowance to your Amtrak reservation is a simple process that can be done online, over the phone, or at an Amtrak ticket counter.

Online

To add a baggage allowance to your Amtrak reservation online, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Amtrak account on the Amtrak website
  2. Click on the 'Modify Trip' tab
  3. Select 'Add/View' under the 'Baggage' section
  4. Choose the number of bags you will be bringing and click 'Continue'
  5. Review and accept the baggage policy and fees
  6. Complete your transaction

Over the Phone

You can also add a baggage allowance to your Amtrak reservation over the phone by calling Amtrak at 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245). Be sure to have your reservation number ready when you call.

At an Amtrak Ticket Counter

If you prefer to add a baggage allowance in person, you can do so at an Amtrak ticket counter. Simply provide your reservation number and let the agent know how many bags you will be bringing.
