Coach-class includes reserved coach accommodations as well as slumber coach accommodations when overnight train travel is involved.
(b) Slumber coach—Includes slumber coach accommodations on trains offering such accommodations, or the lowest level of sleeping accommodations available on a train that does not offer slumber coach accommodations.
(c) Other than coach-class - Any class of accommodations above coach, e.g., first-class or business-class.
(1) First-class—Includes bedrooms, roomettes, club service, parlor car accommodations or other premium accommodations.
(2) Business-class—A class of extra fare train service that is offered above coach class, but is lower than first-class, as described above.
Note to §301-10.160: If a train only has two classes of accommodations available, i.e., first and business class, then the business class is deemed to be classified as coach-class for purposes of official travel, as it is the lowest class offered.
