The man serving the food and drinks during the 3 ½ trip, was very attentive, pleasant, enthusiastic, professional, efficient, fast and never stopped working. Almost everything was great, except 4 things that I found unreasonable... 1)The Brightline shuttle charged each passenger $12* (plus tip) from the Miami Airport to the Brightline station. There shouldn't be any charge, especially to Premium ticket passengers, or the $10 Uber ride credit that Brightline gives us, should be also for the shuttle. (Update: Uber credit No longer available) 2) Security from Brightline Miami removed and tossed away a small pair of scissors ✂️ inside a new small sewing 🧵🪡 kit, from one of my *checked-in* suitcases, because it was supposedly not allowed, not even in the checked-in luggage, which they mentioned they're trying to revise that rule in the future, because it obviously doesn't make any sense, especially since all airports allow it, as long as it's not inside a carry-on bag and it had just went through multiple international airports with me, including the Miami airport, without any issues. 3) They don't have free carts available at the baggage claim area, for people traveling alone with multiple suitcases. You have to pay almost $10 and it's on a different floor, which doesn't make any sense. Most airports provide them at no cost and they're available everywhere. Typical corporate greed. 4) I was not allowed to use the Premium Lounge until 2 hours before my train departure. I arrived at the Brightline station 4 hours before my departure, because I was coming from Europe on a transatlantic flight. I was hungry, sleep deprived and was still told I needed to wait 2 hours to use it, which is unreasonable. What are they afraid of? There's only so much food and space anyone can eat and use in 4 hours. It was just 2 additional hours. ********* June 6th, 2026: ride from Miami Airport, to Miami Brightline station, to Ft Lauderdale Brightline station. Brightline continues to charge a shuttle fee, now $12 +tip, even to Premium ticket passengers, from Miami Airport to Miami Brightline station. That should be included in the ticket. The train ride was great. The Premium lounge too. The food quality could and should improve, but it was decent enough to eat. I don't remember the train attendant's name, but he was very professional and kind, in spite of being extremely busy, with so many passengers, from Miami to Ft Lauderdale. I couldn't leave him a tip because he was very busy to come back to change my $20 bill before I got off. Same goes for the young man that checked in my luggage at the Miami station. I've had a great experience so far most times, except one time, many months ago, where the train attendant was very rude and condescending (young black voluptuous woman), on one of my many trips from/to Orlando to Miami. Everyone else has been very efficient and pleasant.
