When planning a trip away whether for business or pleasure you have to take into account your journey and what level of travel you wish to book.
Whether by plane or train there is usually an executive option of a more luxurious style of travel, but is it really worth the extra money?
By train – When travelling by train, particularly on a business trip the space available in standard class is very limited and can be somewhat uncomfortable particularly on long journeys where the standard coaches can be over full. If you upgrade to first class once on the train in can be worth it, you get more leg room, a single seat to yourself with a table and power point as well as quiet surroundings that are not over crowded. There is also sometimes refreshments included.
By plane – When travelling by plane the extras that you get for upgrading to first class are all dependant on the company that you fly with so it’s always worth checking what’s available. The cost of upgrading to first class is quite high on flights so unless the company are offering a measurable difference it may not be worth the extra cost.
