premium economy

Hi All, Just flew SQ222 SYD-SIN in Premium Economy. Since being introduced to Suites by Cove and Cruiser Elite some time ago, I've not flown anything else for a long time (a single economy leg in 2013 was my last right turn after boarding). Circumstances have meant that I'm forced to pay...

Per Crikey Plane Talking - as of today, no more large bottles of water to be carried on QF services for business and premium economy. Instead, local water supplies will be used and filtered. Small bottle(s) will continue to be available. Qantas takes bottled water out of biz class | Plane...

Qatar Airways CEO rules out PE: Forbes Welcome

Have to visit Perth soon for work, company only pays for Premium Economy so I'm thinking of trying the WLG-AKL-PER PE service. My other option is WLG-SYD-PER with Qantas in Economy with which I do have lounge access, I am OW gold but doubt its worth splurging points to get into business on...

Hi All, I am planning an RTW trip in a year or so and am looking for some help please. I am trying to work out if it is worth taking a Biz fare at about $8-9K or a Premium Economy fare at about $4 to 4.5K. My proposed route is BNE>HKG>LON>YVR>surface>NEW YORK>HKG>BNE. Although I can swap...

Hi Guys, I'm after advice on what the best way to pay for an upgrade on an international flight - bought discount seats, but thinking of paying to upgrade to PE as don't have enough points and would like it guaranteed. Is it just a matter of paying the difference should the seats be...

We have a thread for Qantas business class meals, but I don't think that premium economy is being discussed anywhere. I'm considering booking QF premium economy to South America next year. Would like to know what the meals are like, and generally how the experiences compares to other cabin...

Very much related to my post of yesterday (re: best time to buy tickets for the above), I am now thinking about booking the return (overnight) in Premium Economy and the outbound in Economy and in both cases, applying for an upgrade. If it doesn't come through for the return, we still have an...

Hard to believe - but QF is valuing their premium economy Australia to London at $9984 per person. But this includes taxes, and connecting flights to SYD/MEL from other cities in economy class. i think this is pricing itself out of the market... anyone considering QF PEY is going to look...

Am on QF12 LAX - SYD in Y+ on 23/10, and secured the exit row aisle 24 B. I can see on expert flyer, however, that seat 26 D is free, with E blocked and F occupied. So another option is to take 26d. Which is better, unlimited legroom and an unknown seat mate, or an empty seat next door and a...

I thought I'd see what other Virgin FF's think about choosing an airline within the Virgin virtual network partners into Europe. I'm flying into FRA in March and considering my options as a platinum Virgin. I'd like to fly SQ in the new Premium Economy between SIN and FRA however if I do this...

I may need to do a quick trip SYD-AMS very soon. I don't want to waste points at this time and I am conscious of my spending. Surprisingly SQ appears to be quite competitive with Y fare prices (around AUD$2,000 for end August) but I am wary of booking in economy and arriving stuffed. I was...

Booking a trip from SIN to SYD at the end of the team 3 NSW school holidays in early October, PE was approx 1268 SGD whereas the cheapest Economy was 100 dollars more. SQ Premium economy cheaper also than BA and QF economy on the dates I needed to travel. Both planes will be A380s, where the PE...

Lowly Y here, already planning next year's trip to Europe (May-June 2016). Is it known yet when the new Premium Economy class is to be introduced on MEL-SIN-FCO and LHR-SIN-MEL flights? Any ideas on the likely price point? Mid-way between Y and J? My linking flights will be BLQ-MRS, and MRS-LHR...

Hi all, I'm currently a Velocity Platinum member and have to earn about 690 Status Credits to retain status by mid-May 2016. My next international trip will be to the US, with the domestic path being LAX-LAS-ORD-CLE-MCO-LAX on Delta or Virgin America in First. To maximise my earn I'm looking...

I have found a good fare for BA Premium Economy -SYD- LHR, and am wondering about the quality of the seating, in flight service etc. Any comments/help appreciated.

Hey All, I am getting conflicting information regarding the position of the window on the current seating on the A380 in Premium Economy. On the official seat map, it appears that there is no window next to seats 24A/K, but i can't find anything anywhere mentioning this - apart from a few...

Discounted Premium Economy tickets on SQ now available ex SYD: SIN $1731 return HKG $1771 return PVG/PEK $2047 return LHR $3487 return BOM, DEL, CDG and FRA also available. Sale ends 6 July, 2015.

Hi all, I've booked a premium economy flight to LHR in August with VA, but obviously I have to switch to Etihad economy in AUH. Just wondering what VA classify the fare class for these economy flights with Etihad. Can't seem to find any SC earn info. Thanks in advance.

We have booked an SYD-LHR flight in the new PE seats. Not all of the 380/777s will have the new seats and will cause us to have an 11hr layover in SIN on the way back. SQ has blocked use of United and ANZ points to upgrade on 380/777s. Which I would like to use to catch a better connection...
