Cascades: Business Class or Coach Class?

[Oreius]

I am traveling from Portland, Oregon to Vancouver, BC in August 2020 on the Cascades. Which is better, Coach or Business Class? It’s an 8 hour ride, so I want to be comfortable...

How price-sensitive are you? I'd take BC (more legroom, etc.), especially if coach is high bucket (since at that point the price difference ends up being negligible).

Business Class goes through customs first so it is worth it if you want to get out earlier.

I definitely prefer business. I think it is well worth the extra charge.

Cascades business class is 2+1, you're near the cafe, and if you're crossing the border you get priority through Customs. For me that's a no-brainer.

I actually just did this route in coach. I personally prefer doing it in business class but Coach wasn’t bad. Then again I was invited into a bachelorette party in the lounge north of Seattle. So half my ride was in the lounge.
