Best Seat Options

  • Window Seat (21K/21L): Offers scenic views and a more private experience, ideal for sleeping or enjoying the view.

British Airways Premium Economy Review
British Airways premium economy was the last flight I flew over the Atlantic and one of the first times in recent history I’ve flown something other than business or First class. Being a daytime flight between London and Seattle, the price for Premium was just right and I knew I needed to catch up on work and not sleep. So a domestic first class seat it would be, aka Premium economy for my flight home after a lovely National Geographic Expedition. On the transatlantic hop from London Heathrow to Seattle, I had the chance to revisit World Traveller Plus

United Airlines Boeing 777-300ER Premium Economy Class Review SFO-MNL
I recently flew in United Premium Plus (premium economy) on the United Airlines Boeing 777-300ER SFO-MNL flight from San Francisco to Manila. This United Airlines premium economy review will talk about seats, food, amenities and so on. I had booked this flight (along with connecting flights from Cincinnati to Houston to San Francisco) for 65,000 United Airlines miles. The first 2 flights were in economy, so not too exciting. After rushing to the gate, we waited around for a bit but eventually we were ready to board our next flight, in United Airlines premium economy on a Boeing 777-300ER.

British Airways’ A350 Premium Economy: Exceptionally Well-Intentioned, Passably Executed
Today I flew British Airways’ A350 premium economy from London to Hong Kong. While I’ve flown British Airways’ 777 premium economy and their A350 Club Suite (and Jason has flown their 787 premium economy), neither of us have flown British Airways’ A350 premium economy before. In fact, British Airways introduced a new premium economy seat on their A350 that you’ll also find on some of their 777s and 787s, and today was my first time trying this seat. I remember being very pleasantly surprised by British Airways’ premium economy product a few years back, so was looking forward to

Japan Airlines Premium Economy: A350-1000 vs 777/787
Japan Airlines currently has two different Premium Economy products in the air. You’ll find one type on the Boeing 777-300ER and Boeing 787-9s, and another type on the airline’s newest Airbus A350-1000s. I previously went over the differences between Economy class seats on the new A350s and the older 777s in this post. Similarly, the Premium Economy seats definitely have their own differences. The new A350 seats have some improvements, while there are also a couple of shortcomings, in my opinion. Let’s go over the different products and see the changes. Below are the current configurations
