premium economy

I noticed today on AA.com that bookings have opened for International Prem Economy - commencing Nov 6 LAX SYD. I emailed AA earlier this month asking whether Prem Ec award seat redemptions would be available hoping this would open up bookings on other carriers QF JL CX. This was their reply...

Hi all Has anyone flown in the YX seats SYD-LAX or return yet? Keen on hearing people's thoughts as to whether this is worth the $600 it will cost us for a bit more leg room. Thanks

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has any experience with Qantas (747) and Air Canada (787-8) premium economy? I'm flying to Toronto from Brisbane so it really doesnt matter whether going via Vancouver or los angeles. I have flown Air New Zealand premium economy a couple of times and I liked...

Hi all, I didn't realise that I forgot to post this review until tonight. Back in December, I travelled to NZ with my parents and I went via HKG because I was keen to take advantage of my (soon to be lost) QF WP status and the CX Flounge access, and test out Cathay's new A350 J product to AKL...

My daughter and partner have a one way flight from Amsterdam to Brisbane in July 2017. They have an economy booking and not sure category of economy booking if it is an upgradable fare. If they can upgrade to premium economy then the points will need to come from me. I can transfer points from...

Just read over on AusBT:

On the QF website, it states that a points upgrade from east coast Australia to the UK is 60000 points each way but the booking I have is saying it's 66000. I'm confused. Can someone clarify this for me?

Hey guys, I know this topic's been discussed here before, but I wrote a thought-piece about it and wanted to get your views and feedback. My opinion is that, though it's a bit sad to see first class in decline, overall the future of premium travel looks bright - especially because of the large...

G'day AFFers!! Lady Lenny and I are looking at a potential unexpected trip to London in June/July this year. It's a long story but essentially Lady Lenny has the opportunity to complete a 10 week internship at Christie's auction house in London sometime from May-Jun/Jul and (assuming she is...

For your advice: I have booked a premium economy return from SYD to Helsinki on a business trip the cost around A$5800 in August 2017. Saw so business class promotion on Qatar and Finnair online at the around $6000 mark, should I cancel my Qantas Premium economy (at a fee of A$600) to look at...

Hi all, Would like the wisdom of this great group. Going to LA with friends in a few months but in a moment of silliness, have selected Qantas PE instead of Air New Zealand PE. My friends are flying ANZ PE. I'm struggling with the fact I'm paying $400+ more for the Qantas PE when on paper...

Hi everyone, does anyone know if Air Canada has or intends to introduce PE on the Sydney to Vancouver route? Seat maps don't show it on AC34 but I note there is a section shown as preferred seating with a surcharge. Their web site doesn't show the Sydney route for PE. It seems PE is available on...

Longtime reader of AFF and some other Aussie frequent flyer websites and blogs but just signed up this evening and wanted to share something with everybody here. Earlier this month I was invited by Virgin Australia to attend a focus group where the airline wanted to workshop the idea of...

Hi there. Can you tell me why when i search 11-12 months out, i can not find a single premium economy or business class flight direct to LA or Santiago from Sydney with qantas? It seems as though all the time they are making less and less available to the point where the points are useless...

Hi All, I've grabbed some W tickets to LAX return in July next year. In terms of seating my partner and I would prefer to be together in the two window seats rather than the 4 seats in the middle. However, there are 2 bulkhead seats available in the middle section (15D and 15E). Can anyone who's...

All, I have flights booked SYD -> LHR return for next year. 3 of the 4 sectors are in Business with the final sector (SIN -> SYD) in Premium Economy. I have quite a long stopover in SIN on the way back and have realised that I may not get lounge access on account of not having a business...

Singapore Airlines Premium Economy Just arranged for my wife to fly BNE to LHR via Singapore in PE. I’ve never flown PE myself on SQ but thought it would be good to upgrade her for the very long haul flight. Hoping she would enjoy the flight I was very disappointed to hear that the whole...

Just wondering - other than by transferring points to KrisFlyer, is it actually possible to redeem Velocity points for Premium economy on Singapore Airlines? On the points tables on the VA website, there is no column at all for Premium Economy in table 2 (which covers Singapore Airlines).
