I was debating whether to book the Excellence class on the Glacier Express at the end of May, so do let me know your experience! I also read somewhere that there are planned changes and upgrades (including windows that open and anti-reflective panoramic windows) anticipated for 2020. Could you help confirm if this information is correct?
The carriages might not have changed but they have had a totally new fit out.
Pretty clear difference if you ask me.
It will be interesting to hear if all the negatives for first class have been met in the new excellence class. Judging by the sell out rate it seems as if the new excellence class is going to be popular.
