[@sittiaudibah3137]

Hi, just wondering does the back row seat can recline as much as the seat infront? Thanks

[@Travelsbydreamer]

@@sittiaudibah3137 have always found them around the same level of recline. Have had experiences in other cabins on other aircraft however (economy on A380) where this wouldn’t be the case so to be safe I would sit a little further forward, especially with the back row on this 787 missing a window!

[@Keepontravelling]

👏🏻 You have replied to everyone on your videos. I see that very rarely. Once the channel is established no one replies so thank you for still answering. I don't fly much so kindly tell about turbulence experience also. It sounds like only Airbus is better in that aspect.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

@@Keepontravelling No probs! I really enjoy engaging with all of the comments, I don't suspect that'll be something that ever changes. Perhaps not every comment at some stage but still lots!

[@JeffRevell]

I would say that you should be skipping the first class lounge next time you are reviewing a product where it isn't included. Perhaps a swing through the dining and seating options in the terminal would be more appropriate.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Thanks so much! Yeah was a great start to the flight for sure! 😃

[@pomerau]

First time viewer. Great no nonsense presentation, very concise and the perfect length. Very well shot. Personally, for me, if I were to go flying again after 17 years, solo (I'm 64), i would have kaniptions if I arrived at my preferred window seat and not found any window. I hope this was made clear at the booking stage. 😮‍💨

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel also 😃 Thankfully the lack of window experience is really rare. Would highly recommend sites like Seat Guru just to double check your seat selection as they’ll let you know of any issues such as that on their seat maps across all major airlines :)

[@gap9992]

I have Gold for life Exec Club membership so always fly with BA when I can. BA cabin crew are always great in my experience - which is just as well as it helps to make up for the ancient 777s they use out of Gatwick !! Nothing about the food / drinks package justifies upgrading to WTP and I really don't think the extra leg room and recline make much difference. I can't sleep in economy and I can't sleep in WTP ! If I am not in business class using Avios / Companion Voucher then I usually pay for WTP because when it's just two of us we don't have to sit next to a stranger for 9 hours !! If we were a family of three or four I would just go economy

[@Travelsbydreamer]

If it doesn’t help you sleep then yeah, probably not worth it much of the time. I’ve always found it helped me sleep much better so really helps justify the cost!

I nearly always choose the last row in Premium, but I’m usually on Virgin between Miami and LHR. Since they have the same configuration on their 787, it’s pretty much identical legroom. I’ll be traveling VA to LHR again in March 2024 and I expect an enjoyable experience. Premium is nice on a long flight just for the extra legroom.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

I really miss the VA premium economy, don’t typically fly with them due to alliance but it’s a fab product. Well superior to the BA offering from memory. Do you find that currently the case?

[@tegaumukoro2044]

I’m flying to Miami next month, do you recommend Virgin then? Was looking at BA premium economy as I have long legs and bad knees so definitely need to stretch my legs. Thanks for your anticipated reply.

I used some avios to book Premium Economy on BA from LHR to ATL and back this August. Looking forward to the experience and see how it measures up to their pre-Lockdown Club World product. (I last flew in the upper deck of a BA 747)

We are flying to Orlando in December on BA Premium economy,this is my 1st time flying on BA so hoping all will be well

[@waynesullivan5966]

@Travelsbydreamer i have flown on Virgin Atlantic and also Norwegian and enjoyed them both but now got AMEX British Airways credit card so using it to gain a companion voucher

[@do_happywork]

Having used the premium product on BA, Lufthansa, AF, Delta, Air NZ and Swiss I can confidently say that besides NZ this is the best one. Excellent service, seat comfort perfect for someone my height (5' 9"), all dietary restrictions painstakingly observed, great seat controls, separate small cabin that creates a sense of intimacy that is deeply lacking in WT. Plus VERY competitive pricing compared to all other airlines. Keep finding offers at 1300 from West Coast to Europe, which is almost unheard of nowadays.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Amazing insight and really interesting to contrast a number of the carriers offerings. How do you find it compares to Virgin if you’ve done that one? I’ll be flying it soon after great memories years ago flying with them in PE…

Good video thanks for sharing. I have flown premium economy a few times long haul and honestly I never do it again. Seats uncomfortably leg room not great reclining dreadful. For me business class seats are a must on long haul and if I can’t afford them I will just not go or travel short haul.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

You’re very welcome! Really interesting perspective. I think it really depends which side of the fence you come down on in terms of whether PE is a glorified economy product or a genuine step up from economy and more of a ‘business light’. It’s positioning is pretty new and doesn’t make sense for a lot of travellers so do empathise with your position for sure - business is a totally different experience, that ability to get flat for sleep is priceless…

[@supersonicbird11]

I flew the cabin in 2007 , things do change - and it looks much nicer now - def refurbished. I didn’t care for it - at that point. Was just a wider seat and staggered coach meal. Love BA personally and they have been good to travel trade - flown all cabins including “ R” class a few times. Was very memorable flights & sadly missed ..

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Great insight, awesome to hear your story! The cabin featured in this one is now their older style PE with the latest being a nice move on. I featured it briefly on the channel also as a slightly older video oddly. Hope to fly the latest one later this year to get a full review on so watch this space! Happy travels ✈️

[@Travelsbydreamer]

You’re very welcome! How odd 😅 Ok so, if you’re on the main deck in economy, you won’t get the storage bin and additional space. There’s a little bit more I’d say on the A380 as the cabin does flare out but not as much as the upper deck. I’d typically try and go for that always 😊 Great to have you onboard!

Yeah indeed, baggage allowance in premium economy is 2x 23KG bags

[@lifeaddict]

Can u board before economy? Also is the 787-9 a good plane to fly on? How was turbulence.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Yes indeed so, premium economy from memory generally gets boarding group 3 with economy in 4 and 5 in the old system. The Dreamliner is good, big windows and well hydrated cabin atmosphere vs most other aircraft. Turbulence wise, the Dreamliner isn’t huge so it wouldn’t be as good as a 747 intuitively but I’ve never had any issues on it ✈️

[@richardstreet7518]

Economy is terrible on the 787 but excellent in premium

[@Keepontravelling]

​@@TravelsbydreamerIs it manageable? The turbulence? And which aircrafts have less turbulence? Thnx.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

@@Keepontravelling Yeah, the 787 deals with the bumps well. Generally speaking, the larger the aircraft the less the turbulance, the A380 or 747 best bet for now. The other consideration is where you sit with over the wing always being best for the least movement. Premium Economy conveniently is located in this position on most wide bodied aircrafts around the world making it ideal!

I flew from LHR to BOS in PE 2 years ago... I liked the product. I've flown Lufthansa 3 times in their PE and I think I like BAs product slightly better. Anything is better than straight econ though!

Yeah would agree on that front! I’d like to give Lufthansa’s PE a go as soon as that’s a little more available across their fleet. Generally find the food really good with BA so not sure how they’d measure up on that front…

I go into the packages a little bit more in recent BA videos. Haven’t seen the base price that high but could vary a little. 7.99 feels very expensive…

[@Joe-lb8qn]

Didnt like the dancing around the "is lounge access included" question, ok you said "no" but then talked about how it might be if you flew a lot and then showed lounge pics. Its not part of PE and IMO absolutely none of the lounge stuff should have been in this review because the main demographic of someone wondering about paying extra for PE is not those who would fly so much they get status eventually (and dont you need gold to get into the lounge anyway which would be a lot of PE flights, my quick calculation is around 16 eg more than one flight a month. FWIW i do occasionally fly PE its a good product but essentially at heart its better economy not worse business.

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Agreed with the sentiment around a better economy as opposed to a lesser business, although that is changing with some superb new products coming through (JAL for example). Lounge access however is a silver tier benefit, lounge shown here the First lounge but at LHR it’s hard to spot the difference (600 tier points required). A relatively short premium economy return routing such as this one would earn 180 points so yes, most people would get there very quickly indeed.

[@o.c.g.m9426]

Flying BA P.E. JFK to Hong Kong in a month. Figure id save a few thousand especially with my short stature. Normally i fly business & 1st but want to save more $ & cut back on spending unnecessary stuff in 2024

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Yeah I think that’s really wise, especially for the JFK. I’ve long believed that PE is an ideal way to fly 6-8 hours. Hope you get one of the newer seats on both flights, having the leg rest coming up from the base of the seat makes a big difference for me 😃

[@Halfwayto100]

Great video! We were upgraded to Premium on the way home from JFK this year (on an Amex Companion ticket) and we can’t go back to WT now. Both of us are tall and extra leg room is invaluable. Have booked Premium for our next trip to the US and hoping to book CW or Premium for Cape Town (also Companion voucher) when the seats open ✈️

Thanks so much! Amazing to hear about your experience, it’s for sure a big step up. CW will feel even better, very much hope you get the newer seat for that one, they’ll for sure be no going back to economy then! 😅

I have companion voucher about to expire next month August 2023. No plans for holiday just now, any advice on how to use it for future trips?

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Very good question. It’s been some time since I used one however, I think as long as you book by that date you should be ok. Perhaps just put something out into the far distance and plan around that at the time. Worth trying to be a little clever with it and call BA. One scenario I’d look into is whether you could book something really far out and then what would be the flexibility around tuning the dates further down the line to suit you… Best of luck

[@garvitpatwa3622]

Does anybody ever talk about the armrest situation, if it can be moved or not?

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Hmmm so, with it being premium economy the arm rest console is much larger than economy (it houses the tray table and small drinks rest area also) so can’t be moved. The upside of this however is that it very much protects your personal space onboard which is a big upgrade on economy…

Hey, one question. How can I upgrade from economy to premium economy ? I don’t see anything on the BA website Greez

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Yeah typically this is an option. Often they’ll push upgrades if the cabin still has lots of seats, I’d recommend heading into the manage my booking. Failing that, a quick call through to them is generally advised. Upgrading can really range fees wise, well worth asking on the day also just in case…

[@eyoo100]

flying WT+ but on the A380. should there be any differences?

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Good question. I’d put WT+ probably slightly ahead on the 380. Reason being, it’s upper deck and if you bay one of the window seats, you’ll benefit from the storage shelves on the side which adds more of a feeling of space and loads of additional storage also. The seats are the same generation however so a little older now.

I'm wanting to go from Heathrow to Haneda, Tokyo, I'm a pretty tall fella at 6 ft 3 and it will be my first solo trip. Would you reccomend going for premium economy or just regular economy? I've never done a trip like this before and am trying to iron everything out

[@Travelsbydreamer]

Sounds like an amazing trip. Couple of options I guess for you - a standard seat I think will likely be too tight but, failing premium economy (if too expensive) then an emergency exit row seat in economy could be a really nice way to do it with only a potential seat selection fee as the cost of having more space. If you have BA silver status or above you’ll be able to choose this seat free or charge also :)
