I fly US-South East Asia a couple times a year. Economy fares are around $1k(or $500-800 the last few months). Business class fares can be had for about $4-5k.

I fly US-South East Asia a couple times a year. Economy fares are around $1k(or $500-800 the last few months). Business class fares can be had for about $4-5k. Premium economy for around $1,500-2,000. My problem with premium economy is that for 50%-100% more than the economy fare, you're not getting much. Slightly(1-2") larger seat and pitch. Slightly better food. Earlier boarding. I wish they would have something in the $2,000-2,500 price point with those recliners that you find in domestic first class. I'd definitely pay that much for it.
- rconti 10y agoI hear what you're saying, but I can't justify paying a full multiple of base fare. Economy plus might not be the best thing in the world, but 50% more is at least within the realm of human affordability, and partial recline and my own armrest sounds downright luxurious. For 5x as much as a coach fare, the perks better be things I shouldn't discuss on a public forum. And I don't really care about the quality of food or service, how many times they bring me a hot towel, etc. Just want a good seat.
