A catering trolley with hot and cold drinks and snacks should be taken through the train at some point during its journey.
In 'Relax' class you will also be travelling in a leather trimmed seat and will receive a complimentary bottle of water, plus a free drink from catering trolley - but the key step-up from standard class is how the seating is arranged.
The seats are larger and are arranged 2 + 1 across the coach, instead of 2 + 2, though compartment seats are not available, so you will be sitting in an open plan saloon.
All seats also have tables (seats at tables aren't available in Standard Class).
You will also have access to USB and power sockets.
However, the 'Astra' seat-back entertainment service is not available in 'Relax' Class - because the seats are table seats.

Regiojet travel guide:
Regiojet has evidently opted to take its own unique approach to its long distance train services and what's particularly notable is that the travel experience particularly varies due to the four different classes of seating are available in each of the trains coaches.
The complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the train, but other facilities such as an at service from a catering trolley and access to an on-board entertainment system, depend on the 'class' passengers opt to travel by.
For example, the seat-back entertainment screens similar to those fitted to long-haul airlines, which 'Regiojet' refers to as its 'Astra' entertainment system, is only available in Standard Class.
What can be a tad confusing is that when you initially click on the 'Service on Board Our Trains' link on the Regiojet website, the page you will be taken to is describing the 'Business Class' service.
Access to lounges
An unusual feature of travelling by Regiojet's trains isn't to do with the on board experience, it that all ticket holders can access the lounges located in the main stations in Brno, Praha and Wien, from an hour prior to departure.
