Once on the train, customers can choose any available seat in Business First Class and show both their train ticket and Star Alliance Gold Card to the attendant. Amenities in Business First include complimentary newspapers and magazines, more leg room, wider seats, a personal table, a power socket at each seat and on-board TV.

The check-in area has been specially designed for speed and efficiency, with airlines grouped in zones. The 80-plus common use self-service kiosks are available to any passenger for check in and/or bag-tag printing before handing their luggage to an agent at the fast bag drop. Full-service traditional check-in desks are provided for First Class, Business Class and Star Alliance Gold passengers. This passenger group can also make use of the dedicated Gold Track lane when clearing security and relax in any of the four different lounges, operated by Air Canada, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines and United.

Nå er nok business first class noe av det mest meningsløse på en 15 minutter lang togtur. Men men sikkert nyttig for de som vil lese en gratis avis - noe som i UK ikke koster så forbanna mye allikevel

Latterlig god plass er det hvertfall. Men en skal være tjukk i hodet for å betale fullpris...

Ganske verdiløst produkt, men når det er gratis likevel så er det jo godt med plass og alltid ledig.Har brukt dette to ganger før, og begge gangene så kjente ikke konduktørene til tilbudet så jeg måtta vise dem på telefonen, så var det greit.

Dette tilbudet gjelder formodentlig kun for kortinnehaver, og ikke for reisefølge?

Noen andre allianser som tilbyr det samme?
