And meals, which are included in the fare for sleeper cars but not economy.

I'm sure you know that, but not everyone who reads your comment will. Whether this comment was soon enough to be useful, idk.

East coast coach riders got some access to meals back last year. I don't ride those routes anymore, so I genuinely don't know. It's been a patchwork of dinner service restoration since 2020.

Best advice if meals are meaningful is to ask before you book.
