NBC 6- Travelers can now purchase tickets to use the Brightline high-speed rail service between Orlando and South Florida.
Tickets went on sale Wednesday morning with service to and from Orlando International Airport expected to begin late this summer.
Tickets are only being sold for trips between September 1 and January 7, 2024, with tickets for summer 2023 trips out of Orlando expected to be released later this summer while Brightline narrows down an official start date.
There will be 16 daily round trips with hourly departures between Miami and Orlando. Tickets start at $79 for adults and $39 for kids with non-stop travel expected to take just under three hours.
Premium fares start at $149, which includes a dedicated lounge, priority boarding, checked luggage and complimentary snacks and beverages throughout the trip.
Brightline has been running from downtown Miami to downtown West Palm Beach with a stop in between in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Two new stations in Aventura and Boca Raton opened in December.
The high-speed trains can reach speeds faster than 70 mph.
