People who tried this
“You aren’t really meant to eat meals on the Bernina Express, but the lack of a table seemed problematic for several passengers on our train. Those sitting on the outside were less happy about their seat than those on the inside, especially if they didn’t know the people next to them.”
“I've traveled the Bernina Express in both classes multiple times. Here's my unvarnished take: the views are identical. Both classes have the same panoramic windows, the same route, and the same stunning scenery. You're not paying for better views.”
