Window Seats in the 2-4-2 Configuration
- Best for privacy and recline, especially in rows with direct aisle access.
- Avoid window seats in the middle of a 2-4-2 block if you prefer not to climb over others.

- Air New Zealand’s 777-300ER has 52 premium economy seats, but the 2027 retrofit will reduce this to 52, improving space.
Best Overall for Comfort and Features
- Korean Air’s Premium Class (designated as such) offers 39–41 inches of pitch, footrests, and 15.6-inch 4K screens.
- Emirates’ 777-300ER features Recaro Premium Economy seats with 1-2-1 business-style privacy and 24 seats in a 2-4-2 layout.🔗

- Prioritize exit row or bulkhead seats for extra legroom.
- Check seat maps for specific aircraft to avoid seats near galleys or lavatories.
