New York to Saint-Lambert

Pros: Conforto, percurso tranquilo, viagem suave, funcionários prestativos. Cons: As cadeiras poderiam ser numeradas, evitando situações como as que vivenciamos, com pessoas demarcando seus lugares com pertences (casacos). Melhores informações sobre check in no site da empresa. Tips: Cheguem com antecedência e façam o check in no guichê da empresa na estação de trem.

25 September 2023- Solo travel

Saint-Lambert to New York

Pros: Definitely for anyone who typically takes road trips and just wants to sit back for a change and enjoy the ride and scenery. Cons: Provide a travel port that shows from and to for the closet trains into Penn station. I had 2 hrs of unnecessary travel time that could've been prevented if I had planned wisely. Tips: The dining room cart is basically stocked with chips. cookies, beverages and limited sandwiches. I suggested packing a mini carry on of snacks, drinks and sandwiches to least the trip going.
