Trenitalia Intercity First Class Plus?

[Iskra]

A simple one, what is different about First Class Plus compared to First Class on Trenitalia Intercity services please? It's the first time I've seen it offered when just booking a journey online today. I booked it anyway, but it would be nice to know what's different about it...

AFAIK Plus is this year's name for 1st class, just like Easy is this year's name for 2nd class.

Ah okay, so there's nothing different about it. I had noticed the word 'easy' had appeared on another booking too. Thanks for the clarification.

Adding the word 'plus' seems a little odd, as it comes with connotations of something above and beyond regular first class, so I can see this causing both confusion and disappointment for passengers.

Even more exciting, Intercity seems to have become interCity

oh, and the last three letters are raised

At least the classes on Frecce are still clear: Standard, Premium, Business and Executive - guess which one corresponds to first internationally
