<p>My experience with Amtrak reservations has been very good. I always use the on-line site to make my reservations. It is one of the best on-line reservation sites that I have used.</p><p>I have taken five trips on Amtrak over the past year. I booked all of the space (coach, business class, and first class) on-line. The process was simple to follow, and there were no errors in my reservations.</p><p>I have used the system since it was launched. In fact, when I lived in Australia, I booked my Amtrak travel plans from Melbourne, via my computer, for travel when I was back in the States on home visits. Again, I never ran into a problem.</p><p>I just looked at the system to see if I could book a sleeper from Austin to LAX for next May 1st. No problem! I don't think you can book more than a year in advance, at least on-line, and I would be surprised if you could on the telephone.</p><p>Southwest Airlines only opens its reservation system for booking six to nine months in advance. I believe most of the other airlines follow the same procedure. Very few people need or desire to book more than a year in advance. Accordingly, building the capability to do so would not be a good business decision.</p><p>Amtrak has a lot of challenges. But its on-line reservation system is as good as any airline system that I have used. And I have been booking reservations on-line since the Sabre System was opened up to Prodigy users in the 1990s.</p>
