Roughly $15 will upgrade your Coach trip to Pacific Business Class. Why is this good? Business Class includes more spacious seats combined with tables reminiscent of the Acela Business Class on the East Coast, and each seat includes a power outlet. Additionally, self-serve snacks and cofee come on each level. For those who decide to stay in Coach, the train’s Café Car sells tasty nibbles
and drinks.
Extra cars are occasionally added to each Surfliner train, especially on holidays and heavy ridership days. Please note that if you schedule a trip by standard Coach during peak periods, such seating is unreserved. his means that you are not guaranteed a place on the train, yet Business Class travel does guarantee you a seat.
