you are right, they just "advise" you to be there 20 to 30 minutes early.

And they outright write that some people will get an airplane experience, and not in a free drink way.

$former_job used to pay “pro 1ère” TGV tickets. Those came with free drinks and nibbles, I quite enjoyed it. It was much better than a plane in terms of noise, stability, and legroom. No idea how much they cost though.
