Would a 320 lb 6ft 2in tall man be comfortable in Superliner coach on a 24 hour trip?
There's no center armrest, and thus no separation between adjacent seats, but I would say each seat gets one armrest.The coach seats do not have arm rests, so said man may be comfortable, but his seat mate may not be comfortable. (I am nowhere near that size, but have traveled on Amtrak quite a bit and have seen large men and women in coach).
Sizewise I'd say it's the equivalent of an older-style airline first class seat. I've seen rather large individuals do just fine. There's ample legroom and they're really, really wide. As noted there's no center armrest, which may be a positive or negative depending on who's asking. It's a positive because you're not strictly hemmed in by the armrest, but if you're sitting next to another passenger then that person might not think it's great if you're intruding over the center line.Would a 320 lb 6ft 2in tall man be comfortable in Superliner coach on a 24 hour trip?
Yeah. I recent rode on a contracted thruway bus and the legroom was a little more than typical airline coach. I also rode in an Amtrak California Car which doesn’t recline and where the legroom isn’t quite like a Superliner. They had some older Superliner cafe cars on Capitol Corridor, and I liked sitting in the upstairs seats.There is definitely enough leg room!! And the seat width looks good too. The reclining room is also great. Now we just need to hope that we are not forced to ride a bus due to service interruption.
