In Indian Railways, 2A refers to Second AC or 2nd Tier, which is a step down from First AC in terms of luxury and price. It is the second-best luxurious coach and has only 2-tiers of berths on either side, as opposed to the 3-tiers in 3A. The coaches are air-conditioned, and each compartment has six berths, with only two berths on each side of the compartment and no middle berth. The Second Class AC Sleeper coach is placed right after the First Class AC coach or HA1, depending on the train. Passengers can book meals online or place an order once they have boarded the train, and there is a wall-mounted storage basket provided for each berth to keep small belongings.
