Is it Worth Paying Extra Money?
Paying extra money for the Big Front Seat can be worth it for some people and not for all.
• If you are a tall and large person, the standard cramped seats may not be comfortable for you. In that case, you can choose to get the Big Front Seat experience for a comfortable journey.
