Very good if you are getting on in San Diego. Get to the station a little early and get in line outside in the business class line. Also, when you get to LAUS, your going to have to change seats since the engine will pull the train out of the station and up north. Since there is a big turnover at LAUS, this again shouldn't be a big problem.
