Pros: I loved my experience in Business class from NY Penn Station to Boston South. My Coach experience was not bad at all, just cramped and not really a lot of leg room. Cons: More space between Coach seats and more bathrooms on board would be a game-changer. Tips: Upgrade to Business! It is so worth it...
