Traveler’s Notes . . .

Passengers age 62 and over can get discounted fares on American Airlines, subject to availability, by joining the new AActive American Traveler Club. Sample round-trip fares: $98 New York City-Washington, D.C., and $178 New York City-Toronto. Annual membership is $40 per person or $60 if you want to add a companion (of any age) at the same fare. Fourteen-day advance purchase, minimum stays and other restrictions apply. Information: tel. (800) 421-5600. . . . Amtrak last week ended rail service between the Oregon cities of Eugene, Albany and Salem, south of Portland, via the daily Cascadia train. Bus tickets to cover that segment may be bought through Amtrak. The daily Coast Starlight train continues to stop at the three cities.
