Discount Train Fare

Amtrak is offering to AAAS Annual meeting attendees a 10% discount off of its lowest available rail fare to and from Chicago.

To receive this discount, travelers must call Amtrak at (800) 872-7245 and refer to Convention Fare Code X74U-948 when making a reservation. Amtrak's automated reservation system is not programmed to take meeting fare codes, so you will need to speak to a Reservation Sales Agent. This fare is not available for bookings made on the internet.

This offer is not valid on the Auto Train and Acela service. The offer is valid with Sleepers, Business Class, or First Class seats with payment of the full applicable accommodation charges.

Amtrak services Chicago’s Union Station (CHI) which is less than 2 miles from the conference hotels.

A taxi ride between the station and the AAAS conference hotels runs about $8.00 for a one-way, single rider without tip.
