Pros: The amount of leg space was great. Also, having a place to charge electronics was a huge plus. Did not know about all the seat functions (leg rests, etc.) until we got there and it was too late but great experience overall. Cons: Wi-Fi. Tips: Don't let your kids listen to videos/play their games with out headphones. There was a family on our train and it was hard to relax when the kids were blaring videos for half the ride.
