I’m going to UK in September, only my 2nd time since moving to NZ in 2007. I’m also doing a 5 day tour of Europe in between. The tour company is bussing us to Calais but I’m paying for myself to take the Eurostar back to London for the return trip as I’ve never taken the Eurostar before. I don’t know how long it’s going to be before I can come back so I decided to splurge and treat myself to a standard premier window seat. I’m not worried about food as I’ll have my own snack, I just wanted to be comfortable.
ETA: I broke my left leg after an accident in 2022, fractured in 3 places. All healed now but I’d certainly welcome the extra leg room, as cramped spaces, and also cold weather, can be uncomfortable.
