4.0
Pros: comfortable ride, excellent arrival time, ample leg room. Cons: An area of improvement is to allow e-tickets for convenience and efficiency. Our only option for boarding was paper tickets only. It was a quick exchange from e-ticket to paper, but it would have been convenient and simple to allow e-ticket. Tips: Be prepared to exchange your e-ticket for a paper ticket.
