"I compared coach and business-class experiences on a four-hour Amtrak trip. I thought business class was worth it for the perk of seat selection in the direction of travel. Business class also featured more spacious seats and bathrooms. Is upgrading from coach to business class on Amtrak actually worth it? I traveled in both to find out."
"While booking train tickets between New York City and Providence, Rhode Island, for a trip in January, I purchased a $30 coach seat on a Northeast Regional train and a $150 return trip in business class on an Acela train. Here's how the two travel experiences compare - and why I'd definitely splurge on business class again."
A four-hour Amtrak trip between New York City and Providence, Rhode Island was booked with a $30 coach seat on a Northeast Regional train and a $150 return business-class seat on an Acela train. Business class offered seat selection allowing seating in the direction of travel, more spacious seats, and larger bathrooms. Coach provided a lower fare but fewer comfort perks and less control over seat orientation. The price difference reflected a tradeoff between cost savings and comfort. The business-class experience delivered measurable comfort improvements that justified the higher fare for this trip.
