Market Data 
When I took a 10-hour Amtrak train ride from NYC to Niagara Falls, New York, in August 2022, I booked a business-class ticket for $168, which was $100 more than a coach ticket for the same ride.
I upgraded based on my experience traveling on Amtrak. In the past, I’d spent 85 hours on Amtrak trains going up and down the East Coast, reviewing accommodations from first class to private rooms in sleeper cars.
I’d previously taken a business-class ride on Amtrak from Baltimore to NYC, but that was under three hours, and I wanted to see what it was like on a longer route. I tried it again for my Niagara Falls trip.
Ultimately, I found that business class wasn’t worth the added price since the experience felt too similar to a typical ride in coach.
