FRECCIAROSSA 1000 | EXECUTIVE CLASS | Milan to Paris

Now I have finally tested Executive Class on the high-speed train Frecciarossa 1000 between Milan and Paris! Trenitalia runs the train and from time to time we are up to almost 300 km/h (186 mph). Executive Class on Frecciarossa 1000 is the most luxurious class on these high-speed trains and costs from €139. This usually includes food service at the seat, even though this trip was very stripped down due to current restrictions.
In this report, I first show Milano Centrale but then I go all in on Executive Class. You get to see the car, spaces, the seat (which can be rotated 180°), food service, the conference room and more. I also show Business Class and do a quick visit to the bistro as well. In addition to this we got fantastic views through the Alps and some longer stops where we could stretch our legs.
If you like the video, feel free to give it a thumbs up! Also remember to subscribe to the channel. Thanks for that!

Awesome! I've never had the chance to travel with Frecciargento, Frecciarossa or Italo Train. The best train that i took was the Frecciabianca, and it wasn't bad at all.

Have traveled many times in Executive Class (pre-pandemic) Milano/ Firenze/Roma and return. Always top notch and with wonderful at your seat meal service (pre-pandemic). Is it cheap? NO! But as my Virtuoso Travel Agent once quipped to me … “If you don’t travel first class today, your heirs will tomorrow!” Luxury, ease of travel, service comes with a price tag. I value those services. 😉👍🏻

I was fortunate enough to travel on Frecciarossa Executive class with my family from Milan (what a great station) to Venice, then onto Bologna & then Rome & finally returning to Milan - what a train journey back in pre-COVID 2019. I fully agree about the windows - why have them partially blocked when you are paying a premium price? However, that is my only complaint - the seats & the food service were both excellent - I had gnocchi with red wine followed by an espresso coffee brought to my seat on my trip from Venice to Bologna & again from Rome to Milan, plus various refreshments along the way. Why fly when you can travel at such high speeds & arrive & depart in the center of the city? Further, being in Executive Class(isn't it the best what to travel on any train?) you get full access to the exclusive lounges at the major stations (relaxing seating, clean restrooms & free refreshments whilst waiting to board your train). Bravo Trenitalia you have set the benchmark, in my opinion, for train travel in Europe.

My husband and I took this train on 15/09/22. We were really looking forward to this experience but it was so disappointing! The lounge at Milano Centrale is just a waiting room with free coffee. Maybe some crisps if you are lucky. Our seats had no power so we couldn’t charge our phones and the staff were confused as to if anyone was going to use any empty seats at any point during our journey to Paris. The service on the train was friendly but not attentive at all. There were 6 of us in the executive class and one person serving us. Considering it is a 6 hour journey I would expect her to come and check on us every 30 minutes. We had a small starter with some prosecco and then it was difficult to find anyone serving there. I had a chicken breast with some mashed potates but the food is microwaved so the quality is quite poor. I wouldn’t do it again. I spent the same amount of money on a Eurostar standard premier ticket and even though the food is mainly cold options it has more flavour, the service is much better and the overall experience much more pleasant. It was OK but don’t expect anything amazing.

Sounds extremely noisy and looks a bit dirty all around the interior compared to the renovated X2000s?

@FlyingDryden Жыл бұрын

I would say that the interior on the new X 2000 is the beat I’ve seen in the latest years. But Frecciarossa is much more quiet than X 2000.

I am trying to decide the benefit to a June journey. Executive, while lovely and spacious, seems a bit off without food service and those awful window wraps. When the traveling Paris to Milan is there a preferred side of the train for views?

@FlyingDryden 2 жыл бұрын

Well, I agree. It's a bit off without the food but ask Trenitalia if it's back in service. Regarding preferred side. From Paris to Lyon it doesn't matter. In Lyon the train changes direction. Before arriving Chambéry there is a beautiful lake, you are traveling on the east side of it. In the Alps I would recommend the other side to get the best views. Did it get any easier? 😁 Well. I think my seat whas a good solution.
