You should definitely try Acela first. Also, the Vermonter would be a cool line to see a video on. Perhaps late September/ early October when the fall colors are peaked.
Sometimes you'll get lucky and the ticket prices on the Acela are basically the same as the Northeast Regional. A few weeks ago I got a ticket from Washington DC to NYC. The Northeast Regional was $78 and the Acela was $80
Awesome ride onboard the Amtrak Acela Express #2159 enroute to Washington DC. Can you do an Amtrak Acela Express review in First Class? Keep up the awesome work.
Incredible video! I’m traveling on the Acela business class and I’m wondering if the seat row 13A and 13C have a good window. I hope we don’t have one where there is only half or a sliver of window. If you know if Greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Quick question, do you know if they are still serving proper meals in First Class? And if not are there still decent hot food options in the cafe car? Great Vid!
Thanks so much for your comment! I'm guessing first class still has a limited offering. Regardless of class, currently all meals must be consumed at your seat. The Cafe has a decent selection of hot meals. I don't think first class has proper meals currently but I'm not 100% sure.
I’m riding the Acela on March 27 from NY Penn Station to Wilmington, Delaware. It’s also going to be my first time riding on Amtrak since my family and I usually take a greyhound bus. I am very excited since it’s going to be my first time traveling on a long distance train. I however do have 2 questions. 1. Which side, left or right, is the best side to sit on to get the best view and 2. How early do you recommend arriving to the station before the train arrives/departs? I really enjoyed this video and it made me more excited about riding on the Acela and Amtrak overall for the first time.
Thanks so much for your comment! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video! Between NY and Delaware it really doesn't matter too much what side you sit on. The most scenic part of the Northeast Corridor in my opinion is in Connecticut, where the line runs close to the water so it's actually pretty scenic on the left side. Between NY and DC, it really doesn't make a huge difference, I'd usually pick the left any way because you can see other trains when they pass by. As far as how early to arrive, it depends on the station but I'd personally arrive no later than 45 minutes prior. Probably even a bit more for NY Penn. I hope this information is helpful!
Did you ever take Metroliner Service (the predecessor to Acela Express)? I did (once) and it was notorious for being overbooked (in both directions) - which is why I refused to take (or book) it ever again. I want to convince my mother to take it with me once they change over to Avelia Liberty - since she has never (as in ever) taken the choo-choo - and I never took the Acela Express - in an up-and-back - Washington Union Station - NYC Penn Station-Washington Union Station - and I think a mostly-empty Acela 21 would be a calmer trip - for both of us.
Thanks for your comment! I never took the Metroliner service. I've taken both the Acela and NE Regional. As far as how crowded the train is it really just depends. Amtrak is currently limiting the number of passengers onboard due to Covid. Normally though, those trains can get pretty full.
The one that stops in Newark airport.i am goin Boston south sta. to liberty airport soon I want to take the acela to the airport but it does not stop there right. So go to Penn station then get on the regional for a quick trip. Nice vid. Hope train travel gets back to normal soon.
@@travelingadventureswithdan3181 thank you dan. Are the airlines in Newark. Oops I mean you get on a terminal bus right we have never flown from EWR Newark. Dan the man you were there when the shit hit the fan. Great vid thanks.
Crazy how brightline looks so clean and bright but won't reach no faster than 165mph,it will only reach up to 125mph as it's stop speed to Orlando Florida.
Great Video. I've only ridden the Acela once before when I was 10 years old in 2015 and I was afraid of loud noises back then so I hated the annoucement chime. I'd probably be fine with them now but I still jumped when the annoucement chime played in the video. I hope they don't have that chime on the new trains. Also at 0:53 the first train on the board was my local commuter rail line.
Thanks so much for your comment! Hopefully the new Avelia Liberty trains will have a more subtle announcement chime! Thanks for Subscribeing and following me on Instagram!

My next Amtrak video will be of the Pennsylvanian. I'd like to try Acela First and the Vermonter would be cool!

Is there a viewing area in acela?
very well done review, thanks! Subscribed
Good information in your video. I'm planning to take Acela roundtrip from NYC to Boston. I wonder when Amtrak will start using the new trainsets?
Awesome ride onboard the Amtrak Acela Express #2159 enroute to Washington DC. Can you do an Amtrak Acela Express review in First Class? Keep up the awesome work.
Very awesome trip report! Always wanted to try the Acela when I visit the north one day. I subbed!
Thanks for subbing! Looking forward to trying the new Acela trains when they join the fleet next year.

@@travelingadventureswithdan3181 Hi thanks so much for the information! It will be very helpful when I take the Acela.

You can take the Acela to New York Penn or Newark Penn than take a NJT train to the Newark Airport

Do you have one on the Northeast Regional?
Coming Soon....
Does Acela business give free drinks?
Awesome video, I'm a Coast Starlight kinda gal 😊
Why some seats have tables and some don't?
