First Class provides spacious seats with more legroom and complimentary drinks, while Business Class is more mid-tier, offering comfortable seats and charging ports. The Economy Class is cost-effective, with standard seating and basic amenities. It's wise to book your seats in advance, especially for First Class, as these can sell out quickly.

The station has restrooms, and while showers are not typically available, nearby gyms or hotels may offer day passes for that amenity.
