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.

All seats also have tables (seats at tables aren't available in Standard Class).

However, the 'Astra' seat-back entertainment service is not available in 'Relax' Class - because the seats are table seats.

As far as we can tell the trains either have 'Standard Class' OR 'Standard Astra' coaches.
The 'Standard Astra' coaches have complimentary 'airline style' seat back entertainment facilities - whether this service is available on a particular departure will be indicated when you book a ticket.
Even when 'Standard Astra' is available, you can opt to sit in a compartment (which don't have the entertainment system) as an alternative to the open plan seating saloons - plus Quiet and Children's compartments are also available.
Though table seats aren't available in Standard/Standard Astra class.
Whether you will or won't be travelling 'Standard Astra', you will be travelling in a leather trimmed seat and will receive a complimentary bottle of water, plus a free drink from catering trolley.
You will also have access to USB and power sockets.
A complimentary WiFi portal is available throughout this train.
The catering service isn't available, only airline style seats are available, there are no compartments, the seats aren't adjustable and there are no power sockets.
Some coaches are equipped with a coffee machine.
You can only take non-folding bikes on board Regiojet's express trains if you book these 'low cost' tickets and reserve a space for your bike, in the racks provided, in the 'Low Cost' coaches prior to boarding.
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.
