Is business class on the Acela Regional worthwhile?

Question

...or should I buy a Coach ticket? It's a 4 hr trip and I want some legroom and I want to sleep...

Answer 1

Acela has two classes of service: Business and First.  Business is very comfortable, with reserved seating, ample leg room, power receptacles at every seat and a snack car available.  First Class offers premium seating, a catered meal and attendant service.  Coach class on a Regional train is not as comfortable as Acela.  The cars are older and some are not in the best state of repair.  The snack car food is about the same as in Acela Business class.

If you want to pay a little extra, I think Acela Business is worth it.  I don't think Acela First Class is worth that much more, however.
