The trip between New York City and Niagara Falls on Amtrak takes about 10 hours in one seat. A business-class ticket cost $168 and included a business-class seat with a tray table, an outlet, and a complimentary drink. The business-class car had a 2x1 seat configuration and seats were unassigned, with no priority boarding for business-class passengers. The seats appeared larger but felt stiffer than expected, though legroom was ample. An Amtrak representative reported business-class seats are about 20 inches wide with 42 inches of legroom. The Moynihan Train Hall lounge is free only for first-class; others face a $50 fee. The upgrade cost roughly $100 more than coach and was judged not worth the premium.
It's a long ride from New York City to Niagara Falls, New York, on an Amtrak train - 10 hours in one seat. I made the trip in 2022 and thought it would be worth upgrading to business class. Since I was spending so much time on the train, I assumed a bigger seat with more legroom would make the $168 ticket worth it. Even though it was $100 more than riding in coach, I booked the premium class confidently. Then, I ended up regretting it.
Since the chairs looked larger than those in coach, I thought they'd be comfy and plush. However, once I sat down, they felt stiffer than expected. But at least it reclined slightly, like on most trains I've taken. Although the seat wasn't as comfortable as I expected for a premium class, I was impressed with the amount of legroom. An Amtrak representative told Business Insider that the business-class seats are about 20 inches wide with 42 inches of legroom.
