Top tips for finding San Diego to Los Angeles train tickets

  • When selecting a train ticket, think about your needs, whether it's spending less or traveling in comfort at an additional charge. For example, the coach class has standard amenities, such as ample legroom, fold-down tray tables, adjustable lighting, and comfortable seats with power outlets. However, you can also consider a business class experience for an additional charge of about $15 to enjoy other amenities like extra legroom, priority boarding, dedicated seats with service attendants, and complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages.
  • Remember to bring your ID when traveling by train from San Diego to Los Angeles. Amtrak Pacific Surfliner, which serves this route, requires you to present an ID to a company representative to enter the train. However, you must have a government agency-issued ID, such as a driver’s license, as they may not accept any other form of identification, including college IDs.
  • Keep in mind the luggage restrictions for trains from San Diego to Los Angeles to avoid last-minute troubles when boarding your train. For instance, most Pacific Surfliner trains do not offer a checked baggage service (especially if both origin and destination stations do not offer the service), meaning that you'll have to follow the carry-on baggage policy. In this case, you may travel with two personal and two carry-on items of weights equal to or less than 25 pounds and 50 pounds, respectively.
  • Per KAYAK users, the common origin and arrival train stations for a trip from San Diego to Los Angeles are the Santa Fe Depot in San Diego and Los Angeles's Union Station. Both railway stations have convenient travel resources, including waiting rooms, vending machines, restrooms, and ATMs. In addition, disabled travelers can access wheelchairs, wheelchair lifts, and baggage assistance service from staff members. Union Station also features an elevator, payphones, and an accessible parking area.
