Have you flown Premium Economy? What did you think?
Thank you very much for this video. I'm debating bulkhead vs regular PE seats. Bulkhead cons might be slightly less leg room while screens are stowed, no IFE during take off and landing, and no access to bags as well. What do you think?
@@mementomori29231 We thought the leg room was great with bulkhead and did not feel cramped since there was no seat in front of us. It gave us an airy feel. The only downside to bulkhead was that the screens and table had to be pulled in and out of the side of the seat, and you do not have access to your stuff as easily since you cannot stow your personal bag under a seat in front of you. If you think you are going to need access to your personal stuff often during the flight, I would not do bulkhead, otherwise I would! Thanks for watching and thanks for asking a question! Have a great trip!
Flying this tmrw and now I’m SO MUCH MORE excited for my flight from China to the USA. Thank you for this video!
Great to hear! Glad the video was helpful! Have a great flight, and thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!!
Just FYI booze is included with all seats on international flights. It is only domestic flights that they charge for drinks on non-upgraded seats!
Good to know but I think on international economy seats the booze is limited to wine/beer. Thanks for watching and for your input! Cheers!
Best review for this product I have seen. Great job and thanks!
Wow, thanks! It was our pleasure!
That was a brilliant video - I will be taking that exact same flight soon in premium economy and this video was the best on youtube to show me.....thanks guys!!
Thanks, great to hear! If you are like me, I like to know what to expect when I travel and that's why we do these videos! Thanks for watching and for the feedback. (ps we just returned from another flight where we took premium over and economy back! We will do a comparison video soon) Have a great trip!
Thank up Sue for being happy. I’m flying this next week
Sue says....Have a great trip! Thanks for watching! Cheers!!
I loved AA premium but prefer the seats at the back of the premium cabin as you can recline whenever you like.
I could see the appeal of being able to recline your seat further back! In September we're going to compare premium economy with regular economy where we booked seats all the way in the back of the plane! Thanks for watching. Thanks for leaving a comment!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue I think they meant the last row in premium economy.
Yep you got it @@christinalove1309
Thanks for this - we're row 13 on a 777-200ER in an upcoming trip, this was helpful to know what to expect.
Hey, that's great! Glad to help! Have a great trip, and thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
This is great!! Thank you for the review...
Our pleasure! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and safe travels. Cheers!
This month we're flying to Europe and back in premium economy. It's something that my wife insists on after coming back from the UK in 2019 where she had a legitimately crazy women next to her for the return flight.. No more cattle call for her.
Hey, I can't blame your wife one bit! After experiencing premium economy Sue is not happy when I book economy now. Just too cramped and too many people on top of you. Hope your travels are great. Thanks for watching and thanks for leaving a comment. Cheers!
Nice. Yeah my husband will never fly economy again on long haul since we flew United Premium Econ RT to Europe. He is a big athletic fellow and that extra space makes a huge difference plus the food is better. Trying AA's PE product soon. Thanks for the vid.
Don't blame him! We are heading back to Europe on AA but this time we are taking Premium Econ going over and regular old Economy coming back! Will compare the two! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!
Very helpful!
That's great to hear! Thank you and thanks for watching!
Lovely Flight. 😱 This is worth every penny, nickel, dime and dollar 🤑💰. Thanks for your video 👍
It certainly is worth the extra cost, but those costs seem to be going up as the airlines have realized that more and more people want to fly! Thanks for watching. Thanks for leaving a comment. Cheers!
You guys are cute and thanks for the review. We flew Premium economy to europe on Virgin last summer and loved it. I am headed to India for business next month on American Premium Economy so thanks for the review. I feel good about it now.
Hey, glad to hear that the video gave you a heads up on what to expect with American. Appreciate you watching and thanks for leaving a comment. Have a great trip to India!

Hello hello!, thanks for watching our videos!!
Hello Miss Sue and sir Steve.. what a very comfortable plane trip..nice foods looks yummy.
Enjoy and be safe lovely couple..
Hi Yani.....Sue is sitting next to me and says hello. We're back at the airport now. Flying up to New York. We had did have a great trip to Dublin and the flight was very comfortable. Hope all is well with you. hello Brian. Thanks for watching. See you around!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue Brian says hello sir Steve..have a safe trip dear couple❤️
Great flight. I've been unexpectedly upgraded twice on my 🇳🇱NL-NZ🇳🇿 flights and that was heavenly. I do have to say though, in my 22 years of to-ing and fro-ing I'v become so used to economy that I 'grin' and bear it. This looked ever so tempting though to see what I can arrange on my next trip. Looking forward to catching up on your adventures. Happy Sunday 😎🇳🇱🙋♀🇳🇿🌺
Happy Sunday to you too! Once you taste anything above economy it's hard to go back but with the cost of travel going up and up, economy may be the only affordable way to go in the future. Thanks for watching! Hope you have a great week!
Awesome review, thanks 🙏
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your trip.
It's our pleasure! We hope the information helps others. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue You are welcome. it is always nice to see how sometimes when travelers can not have the Business Class seat then to see how it is in the Premium Economy seats.
@@LMays-cu2hp To be honest, unless its going to be a 12 hr flight, the premium economy section is plenty comfortable & nice, and for a lot less money than business!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue You are right when it is on those longer long-haul flights!! Business Class is nice to have, and I know, I know, many people may not have the airline points nor the extra funds. But still, many people want to go to those very nice long-haul destinations. I am glad the travel industry is still surviving coming out of the post pandemic.
We are flying a 777 to London on Christmas Eve and sitting in those exact seats. We like row 13 for long haul flights because you have that extra space in front of you.
They were great seats! Hope you have a smooth trip! We are planning to visit the Christmas markets in France this year but are taking plain old economy over! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment! Cheers!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue Oh we did that last December. We took a Viking river cruise from Amsterdam to Basel. The markets are all pretty much the same but we did enjoy the one in Strasbourg. Basel is a must-see and we really want to go back. Enjoy!
@@mmc9828 Thanks!
Nice places wonderful relaxing time I like that place
It really was! Thanks for the visit!
Good Video. Very detailed. I enjoyed it!
Glad you found it useful and informative. Appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching! Safe travels!
Twinkle twinkle.You guys are awesome
Your so kind! Thanks! And thanks for watching...appreciate it!
I’ve flown PE on Delta, Air France, United and American, and DeltaOne and Business on KLM. I liked Air France’s PE the best out of everyone. It was on a newer 787-9 (I’m a fan of the 787s). We sat in the bulkhead row on the right side, and feel like it’d be at the bottom of the list if we hadn’t sat in a bulkhead row due to the shell style seats. Next, you HAVE to fly long haul business. KLM’s World Business Class official got my wife into using credit card points to find reward flights, as she can now understand my obsession with it.
Hey, that's good to know. And you're right points are the way to go to help offset the cost of these upgrades. Sounds like you have some great experience with all the different airlines! Our last flight from Europe we came back in economy and the flight took 10 hours. It was a brutal experience! Premium economy or business would be the only way to go with anything over 5 hours in my opinion! Thanks for watching and thanks for leaving a comment. Hope your next flight is a great one!
Thanks for the video.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. I’m flying to Barcelona on premium economy.
Our pleasure! You will like the extra space....when you are on your flight take a look back in economy and you will see what I mean! Have a great trip and thanks for watching!!
haha so cool. Thanks guys
Our pleasure! Safe travels!
I Like Produtc Premium Economy.Great Trip Repoer
Yes, it sure beats economy class! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this! I’m in the process of booking flights to Dublin and my husband and I are trying to decide if economy plus is worth it. This video helped us to decided that yes it’s worth it! Where did you put your personal items since you didn’t have a seat in front of you?
There was plenty of overhead space available and we put everything up there. But there was a little cubby hole at the seats where we put our phones. Glad the video helped you! Dublin was such a fun city that we want to go back! Hope you have a great trip! Thanks for watching!
PE is definitely worth the price. The food, room, and recline makes it a much better way to travel.
Thanks for the review. I have a quick question for you. Did you notice any narrowing in the seats in the bulkhead as compared to other rows in Premium Economy given the TV monitors? This once happened to me in Delta Comfort plus where the seats are already narrow and it was quite uncomfortable.
No, on the flight we were on all the seats in premium economy seemed to be the same size. But, we are flying again in late Sept. and I'll take another look. If I see anything odd, I'll post back. Thanks for watching and for asking a question! Cheers!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue Thanks.
You may not know the answer, but do the seats in the third row of PE recline unrestricted as well? Looking at a flight to Dublin next year.
Hello! We noticed that all the seats in PE recline slightly, maybe 30 degrees at most. Hope that helps! Dubin is worth the trip, even if you don't sleep much on the plane! Thanks for watching and for your question.
Yes they do, I recommend the back seats of PE as you can recline without affecting anyone behind.
Your trip looks like a great adventure. Did you travel with friends and family? ❤
We sure did! Its the only way to go. Thanks for watching!
Nice video
Hey thanks, glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
have you flown premium econ on either Singapore Air or EVA? I am looking at an AA flight in Premiun Econ on 777-200 to Munich. I have flown Prem Econ on both the others and hopefully you can compare and contrast AA to the others
I wish I could tell you, but we have only flown premium economy on American since we are limited on who we can fly coming from Myrtle Beach. I would love to hear what you think of American after your flight to Munich!
Where did you leave for Ireland from on American? Myrtle Beach, Charleston, or ....??
We flew from Myrtle to Charleston and then direct to Dublin. The nice thing was we checked our bags in Myrtle and then picked them up in Dublin. We also found that the price going directly from Charleston to Dublin was the same as going from Myrtle-->Charleston-->Dublin.
I'll be on that same flight next month, How was the ride?
The ride was great and only took 7 hrs (or less) to get to Dublin. Plus, since there is US immigration in Dubin Airport, so when you return you go through US immigration before you get on the plane and then do not have to go through US immigration when you land back in the US! Big time and hassle saver! Have a great trip and thanks for watching! Cheers!
You guys are walkin tall. Very posh. I would have had some vodka with that sprite.
Hey HW, yes it was a real treat but whether we will ever do it again I'm not sure but it was fun while it lasted! Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend!
Was it cold on that flight?
It was definitely cool on the flight but since they gave us blankets it was very comfortable and easy to rest!
Plenty of leg room
Yes indeed! Did not feel cramped at all during the flight! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
at last someone who doesnt say 30K feet
LOL....Yes, we were smoothly cruising at 39K feet! Thanks for watching!
Flown PE on Delta, United, and Air France. United has the best PE so far.
If you really want to impress try Delta One. Flew it to Budapest and also back home from Dublin. That is a great product.
One last thing. The PE seats are basically domestic first class seats. There is no domestic business class on airlines in the US except maybe transcontinental flights.
Hope you enjoy Dublin. It’s a great city. Headed back there soon.
Yes, it is a great city and we hope to go back to Dublin sometime in the future. Sounds like you've done a lot of flying. I would love to try the other premium economy seats that you mentioned. Thanks for watching!
