Andrew Harnik/AP Photo * Amtrak's USA Rail Pass is here as the country braces for a boom in summer travel. * The ticket allows buyers to book 10 trips over 30 days for a flat fee. * It normally costs $499, but it's discounted to $299 through June 22. * See more stories on Insider's business page. After a year-plus of coronavirus-induced stress and boredom, many Americans are eager to travel again. Expecting a boom in summer travel, Amtrak is luring in travelers with the relaunch of its USA Rail Pass. The ticket, which Amtrak launched last week, allows people to spend a month crisscrossing the country on Amtrak trains for a flat fee. Through June 22, the pass is $299, 40% off its usual price of $499. It doesn't allow for unlimited train travel -- the $299 covers 10 rail segments over 30 days. According to Amtrak, a segment of a trip ends when a passenger gets off a train, so a trip with one connection would use two segments, but one long ride would be only one segment. Amtrak's longest direct routes -- like Chicago to San Antonio -- stretch more than 1,000 miles. Read more: Space vacations will soon join our $9.2 trillion tourism economy. These companies are leading the industry. The USA Rail Pass is good for only coach seats and doesn't let passengers book premium accommodations like sleeper cabins or first-class seats. Still, at $30 a segment, the pass offers massive discounts, given that one segment can cost hundreds of dollars. For instance, one round-trip ticket on the 1,377-mile Crescent line from New York to New Orleans can run you close to $500. The USA Rail Pass would pay for itself after that trip alone. Buyers have 120 days to book trips using their USA Rail Pass after purchasing it, so a discounted pass bought by June 22 would be good through late October. They have 30 days from the day of their first trip to use up the 10 segments. Newsletter Sign up for the 10 Things in Tech newsletter for the latest trends & developments in tech.
