Enterprise First Plus

purt

Has anyone travelled First Plus on the Enterprise to Dublin at all? I've booked a trip travelling First Plus and wondered what benefits it brings (if any)? Are there complimentary drinks, food etc? Or does it just provide you with a different seat?!

Hmm. If that's all it affords me I'll be writing a letter of complaint! I'd have thought they'd at least give you a free cup of tea!

I'm sure when I was on it, I got a complimentary drink, orange juice, you might get tea or coffee. I really like the first class seats etc it is quite nice but then i think the "coach" seats are grand too.

You get a free OJ and a free copy of belfast tele and maybe irish times depending on time of travel. You can also book your seat (I'd recommend booking on the single rather than the double side as you're more likely to get peace). The steward comes and takes your food and drink order but you do pay for it and it isn't exactly cheap although mostly is edible. Probably not worth the extra dosh unless you aren't paying for it yourself or you need to get some work done in peace.
