YES, it is worth travelling by 1AC. Train Journeys are beautiful with a view of scenic farmlands, crossing multiple cities, watching people outside, and meeting many strangers on the train. With 1AC this experience is enhanced with luxury – a dedicated assistant, comfortable bedding, spacious seating, and good food.

How Does it Feel travelling in the 1st AC in the Rajdhani Express?

The benefit that you get when you book with these kinds of premium trains or AC coaches of any train is that there is no provision for the waiting list for AC coaches. If your ticket gets into the waiting list and wasn’t be able to get cleared till the date of the journey then, IRCTC cancels your ticket and initiates a refund request on your booking.

6. Food is not very tasty in the sense you would expect from a restaurant. It is more like Home made food. We prefer this because we do not like very spicy stuff. We avoid such food during our travels. Simple Daal, Paneer Ki Sabji, Paratha/Roti, Dahi ,Achar is served in China in a table spread by the attendent. Obviously you get sweet/ice cream as well. Evening snacks include Almond or Cashew.

How safe is it to travelling in first AC coaches in Indian Railways?

You can see outside…. There is a glass window to see outside. Curtain is provided to cover the window from inside that’s because of privacy. 1st AC is completely safe no problem.

But if you are female and traveling alone then I would recommend not to go for AC first class. Because it may possible that other person in your compartment may lock the door and try to take advantage or do something that is not acceptable. So it can be a matter of worry.

otherwise if you are traveling with family or in group then there is no problem.
