Florida - Wednesday May 17, 2023: You can now buy a ticket to ride Brightline's highspeed rail service from Miami to Orlando. Bookings are available from Friday September 1 through the end of this year.
Brightline began selling tickets at 6 a.m. Wednesday on their website at gobrightline.com. Tickets start at $79 for adults and $39 for kids.
“Brightline guests and the travel market have spoken loudly, and we want to respond by opening ticket sales from late summer through the beginning of next year,” said Patrick Goddard, president of Brightline.
However Brightline says the official opening date and inaugural run will take place before September 1st, but that date has yet to be announced. The company says the official launch of service will be announced after Brightline has completed required testing, possibly in June or July.
Tickets for travel to and from Orlando on September 1st, and later, can be booked from any of Brightline's current south Florida stops which are Miami, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach. Tickets can also be purchased for travel south from Orlando to any of those Brightline stations.
