BA premium economy has wider seats with more leg room as far as I can tell, the same food as club (ie. upgraded from economy), your own arm rests and better in flight entertainment (a larger screen).
- ghaff 8y agoOk. I usually fly United. There Economy Plus is mostly just more legroom.
- saryant 8y agoThat’s United’s extra leg room product which is distinct from their premium economy product. That product is only available on long haul flights.
- ryandrake 8y agoHas anyone told these airlines that these new class names are confusing branding nightmares. Premium Economy? Economy Plus? Economy Comfort? Which one’s better? Who knows? Reminds me of the ol’ USB High Speed vs. USB Full Speed. I still don’t remember which one is faster.
- JoeAltmaier 8y agoI had to name the speed settings on an old 802.11 radio link. Started with 1-10MBit with names like standard speed, full speed, high speed. Added mega speed, hyper speed, ultra speed, mondo speed, maxi-speed, ludicrous speed to get to 200MBit.
- ghaff 8y agoDon’t forget steerage, excuse me, basic economy.
- dzhiurgis 8y agoI am pretty sure it's their intention. Making products difficult to compare is marketing 101.
- ghaff 8y agoI’m not sure I’ve ever seen a premium economy product on United and I fly 75K miles on them per year. There’s economy, economy plus, and either old-style business or, increasingly, Polaris even on domestic flights. Added: Ah, haven’t seen it because it’s just starting to roll out on United.
- chrisbolt 8y agoUnited is still introducing “Premium Plus”, very few planes have the new seats. https://onemileatatime.com/united-airlines-premium-economy/ https://onemileatatime.com/united-airlines-premium-economy/
- ghaff 8y agoInteresting. Didn’t know that. I know they’ve really been promoting Polaris. Didn’t know they were introducing something below it.
- bradstewart 8y agoIt's a really new addition to United's offerings. I flew LAX-SYD in November on a United 787 and that plane only had Economy Plus/slightly more legroom.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoThis is also true of Virgin Atlantic. I generally fly long haul with them whenever I can and when I do I always fly Premium Economy. It's well worth the upgrade.
