A1 coach is a type of coach in Indian Railways that belongs to the First Class AC (1A) category. It is the most expensive class of travel in Indian Railways, with fares almost at par with airfare. The coach has eight cabins, including two coupes, in the full AC First Class coach and three cabins, including one coupe, in the half AC First Class coach. The coach is air-conditioned and has an attendant to help passengers. Bedding is included with the fare, and the sleeper berths are extremely wide and spacious. The coaches are carpeted, have sleeping accommodation, and have privacy features like personal coupes. The coach can carry 18 passengers (full coach) or 10 passengers (half coach) . The curtains used in these coaches are fire-proof, and blankets are covered and clean. In some trains, washbasins are provided inside each compartment, and there is also one washroom with shower facilities per coach where passengers can bathe and get ready. Chart is prepared manually for 1A coaches, hence passengers get seat numbers only after the chart is prepared. If you are lucky, you might be welcomed with a flower and a welcome drink in this class, making you feel like a Maharaja of some era.
