I recently took a round trip from Bangalore to Bhopal, Bhopal to New Delhi, New Delhi to Howrah and Howrah to Bangalore. I would want to put forth my experience in AC First Class experience across this route.
First Trip Bengaluru Rajdhani from SBC to BPL. Was allocated a four cabin block for two people whereas there are families who had 4 people and there were all scattered. TT was the most unhelpful, passengers had to coordinate amongst themselves and settled properly. Food the least said the better, had to call the pantry manager to get the right quality and variety of food as mentioned in the menu. Bed roll quality bearable.

Trip Karnataka Express from BPL to NDLS. Boarded the train at midnight. Had to wait for 1 hour to get the bed roll which had to be changed 4 times due to poor quality. Attendant was the most rude ever seen. Interiors in the train 100% times better than Bengaluru Rajdhani express.
Third Trip Howrah Rajdhani from NDLS to HWH. The best of the lot experience. Spic and span towels, bed rolls, Attendant paid personal attention, Food was best of the lot, pantry staff ready to deviate a bit from the menu to suit the elderly lady (my mother). Spic and span toilet. Best part which I have not seen in other Rajdhanis travelled is the display board which clearly displays the speed, passing station, time to next destination.Allocated 2 cabin for 2 people correctly.
Last Trip YPR Duronto from HWH to YPR. Utterly disgusting, food table all unstable, no variety and horrible taste of food, toilet watery throughout the trip, Attendant happily snoring than servicing, pantry staff more interested in tips than service. No generator leading to no AC service till Kharagpur as battery had to be charged before cooling. Sitting in steamy 2 seater cabin
Mr Prabhu do something about service even if it means raising the price of the ticket.

If the traveler are 3-4, thy would like to get in Cabin rather thn coupe...quite subjective!! Further, if m traveling alone & long journey, i may feel to find more people to interact with rather thn to share my travel with sme1 total silent & thn i hav to play decent silently!!
What if there are group of two ladies who booking in last moment & with first come first serve, thy land with one berth each in diff cabin/coupe (doesnt matter cabin r coupe)!!
Even thn , the allotment isnt rationale as

Re# 1879831-20              
This is something debatable. Someone willing to pay thousands of rupees 4 months in advance is denied privacy for the sake of some VIP who may turn up at the last moment. Agreed to the part that it was devised for VIP movement but then atleast a part should be lEFT open for someone to choose. 2 ladies are seeing before booking that they may not get seats together. Their wish, they book or dont book. Even while booking in other classes, we are not sure if we ll get a compact accomodation.
