Classes and what it is like on board the Orlando to New York train

On board, the Orlando to New York train is relaxed: you can walk about, eat at your seat or in the café coach where there is one, and keep the bags in sight. Classes available are Coach, Roomette and Bedroom; families often prefer a table of four, solo passengers a window seat in the quiet coach. Tell us when you book and we choose the seats accordingly, where the operator allows seat selection.

• Toilets in every coach; a café or bar coach on most long-distance services
• Wi-Fi on many trains on this route - useful for work, not reliable for streaming
• Quiet coaches and family areas on selected services - just ask when booking
• Bicycles, pushchairs and large luggage accepted within the operator's rules, which we clarify

Children, luggage and groups on the Orlando to New York train

Haqqi Tours books family and group travel on this route week in, week out. Children's fares depend on age bands set by Amtrak Silver Meteor, which we apply automatically; a pushchair folds into the luggage space; a table of four keeps everyone together. Larger groups - a school trip, a company, a wedding party - get seats reserved in a block and, where available, a group rate. There is no luggage allowance to worry about on the Orlando to New York train.

Things to do in New York after the train

New York City is served by three airports: John F. Kennedy (JFK) in Queens about 25 km from Midtown Manhattan, LaGuardia (LGA) about 15 km away, and Newark (EWR) across the Hudson in New Jersey about 25 km from Midtown, with the bridges, tunnels and expressways between them among the busiest roads in America. Start with a Broadway show, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and Central Park, then the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock and Times Square. A tip from our desk: Let us know which of the three airports and which terminal - JFK alone has six - and the hotel's full street address, since Manhattan hotel names repeat across the city.

If you want the day in New York organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it on WhatsApp.

Best time to take the train from Orlando to New York

Spring and autumn are the pleasant seasons, summer is hot and humid, and winter cold with occasional snow; the Van Wyck Expressway from JFK and the tunnels into Manhattan are slowest on weekday evenings. On the train, the difference between seasons shows in availability more than comfort: peak-week departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for July, August, Christmas, New Year and Easter journeys between Orlando and New York.

Train, plane or bus from Orlando to New York?

Weighing a flight against the train from Orlando to New York? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is usually as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 21 hours on board. The bus is the budget option, worth it for some travellers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.

Return train from New York to Orlando

We book the return leg from New York to Orlando just as easily, and normally on the same confirmation. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles and choose the cheaper combination for your dates. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the train from Orlando to New York cost?

Train ticket prices from Orlando to New York move like flight fares: the earlier you book and the quieter the departure, the less you pay. The class you choose, whether you want a refundable ticket, a seat reservation or a return, and whether children are travelling all change the total. Rather than quote a figure that will be out of date tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to travel and sends it to you by WhatsApp before you decide.

What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the operator requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.

Cheapest train ticket from Orlando to New York: how to pay less

A cheap train ticket from Orlando to New York is not luck - it is booking the right seat on the right departure. Here is how we find it:

• Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
• Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are generally the cheapest
• Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business passengers at higher fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
• Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them
• Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest train from Orlando to New York that day, and how much you would save by moving to the next one.

How to book train tickets from Orlando to New York with Haqqi Tours

Here is how to book a Orlando to New York train ticket with Haqqi Tours: use the form on this page - date, one-way or return, passengers, class - and send it. Shortly afterwards we write to you through WhatsApp with the departures that day, the seats we can hold and the price. Once you confirm and payment is arranged in the same conversation, we issue the ticket and send it to you as a PDF or a booking reference, whichever the operator uses.

• Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you in the WhatsApp chat with the available departures, the seats and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the departure you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat

Timetable of the Orlando to New York train

The exact Orlando to New York train times change with the season and the day of the week, so we send the timetable for your specific date rather than a list that may be wrong by the time you read it. As a rule the service runs daily, each taking around 21 hours. Weekend timetables are sometimes thinner in the early morning; holiday periods add extra trains and sell out earlier.

If you are connecting to a flight or another train at New York, tell us: we build in a safe margin and choose a departure that leaves room for a delay.

Is there a direct train from Orlando to New York?

There is a direct train from Orlando to New York operated by Amtrak Silver Meteor, and it is the one we book unless you ask for something different. One ticket covers the whole journey; you keep your seat from Orlando Amtrak station to New York Penn Station; children and luggage stay in one place. It runs daily.

Departure: Orlando Amtrak station

Your journey starts at Orlando Amtrak station. Platforms on long-distance routes are announced shortly before departure, so watch the boards; larger stations have separate halls for high-speed and regional trains, and we tell you which one applies to your ticket. Some hotels have their own airport shuttles and rideshare is common, but a private car is the simplest choice for families with luggage and car seats, and for Kissimmee, Celebration, ChampionsGate or Port Canaveral.

• Ask us which hall or level your train leaves from - big stations have more than one
• Arrive 20-30 minutes early; the platform is shown on the boards shortly before departure
• Keep the electronic ticket on your phone and the ID used for booking together - some operators check both
• Luggage travels with you: racks at the coach ends and above the seats, no weighing, no fees

Arrival: New York Penn Station

You step off at New York Penn Station, right in the city - close to the Upper East and Upper West Side and SoHo, Tribeca and Greenwich Village. The AirTrain from JFK connects to the subway and Long Island Rail Road, and Newark has its own AirTrain to NJ Transit; both mean stairs, changes and crowds with luggage, and LaGuardia has only buses, so a car at the terminal door is the calm choice at any hour. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet you off the train and take you to the door of your accommodation.

Many travellers continue from New York to somewhere else the next day. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
