Premium Economy

Premium Economy is a travel class that falls between Economy Class and Business Class and is offered by selected airlines. The fundamental difference between Premium Economy and standard Economy is improved seating. In general, Premium Economy Class offers 5-7 inches more legroom and better seat pitch. Some airlines even offer 50% more seat recline compared with their standard Economy Class. Many airlines also offer additional amenities, enhanced onboard entertainment, premium food menu and added airport services such as priority check-in, boarding and disembarking.

Premium Economy is ideal for both business and leisure travellers who seek cheap flights and a more comfortable flight journey while paying significantly less than a Business Class fare.
