Anticipating a boom in summer travel, Amtrak is attracting travelers with the relaunch of its USA Rail Pass. The ticket, which Amtrak launched last week, allows people to spend a month traveling around the country on Amtrak trains for a fixed fee.

Through June 22, the pass costs $299, which is 40% off its regular price of $499. That doesn't mean travel won't be limited—$299 covers 10 rail segments for 30 days.

According to Amtrak, a trip segment ends when the passenger disembarks the train, so a one-stop trip will use two segments, but one long trip will only use one segment. Amtrak's longest direct routes—such as Chicago to San Antonio—extend more than 1000 miles (more than 1600 km).

The USA Rail Pass is only suitable for regular carriage seats and does not allow passengers to book premium seats such as sleeper or first class seats. However, at $ 30 per segment, the pass offers huge discounts, given that a single segment can cost hundreds of dollars.

For example, a single round-trip ticket on the 1377-mile (2216-kilometer) Crescent Line from New York to New Orleans could cost nearly $500. The USA Rail Pass will pay for itself on this one trip alone.

Customers have 120 days to book travel with the USA Rail Pass after purchasing it, so a discounted pass purchased before June 22 will be valid until the end of October. They have 30 days from the date of their first trip to use 10 segments.
