What Is Premium Economy? Let's Try It On Cathay Pacific✈️

Cathay Pacific Premium Economy is better value than their business class in my opinion. The seat is amazing, the inflight entertainment is good, there is wifi, good food/catering and a nice inflight meal. This was on their A350, A350-900, A359 from Seoul South Korea to Hong Kong. #shorts #flying #travel #airline #cathaypacific #businessclass #premiumeconomy #flightreview #airbus #a350

[@MG-ot2yr]

Best way to describe a real premium economy is its most similar to a domestic first class seat, not just extra leg room but a wider seat and some add'l perks like priority check-in, meals, etc, but it all varies from airline to airline.

It’s very cool you’re able to do this for a living.

It's what economy used to be until the airlines decided to squeeze more money out of passengers

[@CJ.1998X.Y.Z]

It’s what economy used to be when flying was for the wealthy. Premium economy is cheaper than economy in the 90s. Look it up.

[@Noobixm-GGD]

Nope, even back then something like this would probably be Clipper class/some other upgrade The regular economy seats, despite being slightly better than modern economy, were still just average.

[@TheWizardGamez]

You’re blaming the airline like people didn’t choose to be cheap.

[@rakin_8978]

they're charging now more than before ?

[@TheEchelon]

No. This is what business used to be a few decades ago. This might have been like economy in a time when flying was exclusively for the wealthy.

[@Art-vz6qh]

It's a huge upgrade from economy for sure. The price at times can be slightly more or outrageously more expensive though.

[@joninwm]

I flew in PE from Houston, Tx to Singapore with a 5 hour wait during our stop in Manchester. It was roomy and comfortable. In 2020 the round trip was $1,800 usd, now its nearly double that price.

[@davidpham9353]

next time learn how to use google flight. 2nd, learn how to book with points. Then you will buy it for less than $1k in 2023 summer. You are welcome.

In New Zealand booking premium economy usually means paying 2.5x as much as a normal economy ticket, so a no brainer not to buy

China Airlines PREMIER ECONOMY was fabulous I traveled KL MALAYSIA to Taipei and back last month

[@krawllins]

I'm 5'10" and flew on Cathay in 2004, before premium economy. it's the reason I haven't flown across the pacific again. I'm sure premium is better, but if I have to cross the pacific it's business or better

You should try the ultra long-haul Cathay Pacific EGLL - VHHH or London - Hong Kong

[@robertzoufood]

The fact that ANA and JAL give you free lounge access :)))))))))))

[@ajorbista]

Cathay Economy is also impressive. Extensive IFE selection, for some reason even tho the package is the usual economy class fare, I like how you got a tray and like some plate of sort and actual utensils while eating. Plus comfortable seat ofc

[@leehuynh3192]

Flew EVA Airline premium from LAX to SGN Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@swede_in_manila]

Best premium economy is? I traveled on AirNz and theirs were so good!

[@Stillthinkingguns]

fun fact( Hong Kong has made a new airline called Hong Kong airilines) it’s pretty good

[@nathandenials]

i flew economy on a tripple seven and a a330. the tripple seven seat was AMAZING considering it was a 13 hour flight. cant say the same for the a330 but altogether real joyride!

[@1gigi]

Flew AA premium economy from SCL to MIA and you are right. For a slight 10-15% up cost we flew a much more enjoyable route.

[@TimmyTickle]

Flew Qantas premium economy from MEL-SFO in 2018... words cannot describe how good it was

I flew once in premium economy and LOVED it

[@Actuallytryhard]

WELCOME TO HK

[@roger_08]

And with sometimes you can check more bags without paying extra (although it’s included in the ticket price)💵🎫

[@vincienzo]

I feel like Premium Economy is more or less similar to what regular coach was like in like the 1980s and 1990s

[@nitinv60]

Travelled in pre eco london to delhi on British airways n felt like its has more space than business class😅

[@ab3040]

Never flying premium economy unless it's a free upgrade I would rather save the money to fly business next time.

[@sleepyclimber]

flew hawaiian premium economy for ~20% more from austin to honolulu...definitely worth it in the bulkhead aisles given the 8h flight time!

PE is ok until the one in front reclines it’s seat. That will decrease the space significantly

[@NorthGeorgia_Aviation]

You should try Virgin Atlantic Premium out of Manchester or into Heathrow.

[@bryanwang6611]

flew premium economy from HK to LA (i think) extra space was a huge lifesaver

[@AidenCarle]

Agree I would prefer premium economy in Daytime flights instead wasting my own money for Business Class

[@user-id4ep9vb4w]

one of the real best airlines. crew are truly able to speak english with many vocabularies & clear articulation even way better than the "two biggest" airlines from middle east. sorry but I just spit it out the fact based on experiences of mine & my surroundings

[@nickturpitka6929]

Looks like a US domestic first class. Would you say the experience/comfort is similar?

[@user-ei6rd7ei7x]

Russian premium economy: you just can get the second luggage (and sometimes business lounge). It's 1,5-2 times more expensive than standard economy

[@angle5520]

Back in the day those seats were nornal for planes

[@NonstopDan]

True! Sad development😩

[@magnustan841]

But was 30% more expensive than it is now? Blame budget airlines for the downward development

[@angle5520]

@@magnustan841 the population has increased dramatically since the early 1980s, so that has to be taken into consideration first and foremost. As capitalism became more corrupt the smaller the seats became.

[@justanotheroilersfan]

@@angle5520 although this is true, those ‘normal’ seats where not the price they are now. It was much more expensive to fly then. So, don’t act like it’s a travesty that you pay less and get less.

Not all premium economy cabins are created equally

[@caymangaming8560]

We shall not forget Singapore airlines also famous

[@JR-ii4lq]

We just did business class from NZ>HK, HK>LON. 1st leg was great (cabin) A350, 2nd leg was 777 which was older. 1st leg service was horrible, 2nd leg much better. Overall though there was a real semse of poor morale with the air crew. Food was nowhere near what it used to be. Wont be using cathay till we see reports of significant changes/improvement. In other words, spending cash on business class = dont go with Cathay at the moment. 😢

[@EditV1be]

Try china airlines premium economy next time

[@fatassgaming]

in my opinion cathay pacific is one of the best asian airlines along with singapore airlines and ana

[@Ruliscool298]

I’ve tried Premium Economy and it was good

[@LWT633]

Premium economy is actually business class domestic in the USA lmao

[@Amritsari2020]

Looks great, but would that recline from the seat in front be any issue? It'd probably be better than in economy but is it very noticeable in Premium Eco?

[@vahitcantekin2618]

You're reclining forward so you don't notice anything from either the seat in front or behind you

[@goodhuman8879]

Me who jumps into a plane and wakes up when it stops

[@Thefunone88]

For a 14.5h flight would this be ok? I got business class for next month but its def a lot more than these

[@realsteel8113]

I love Cathay pacific and those seats look more like the economy seats I always get. I certainly haven’t bought premium seats.

[@FighterofGD]

20% more, lol. Nowadays, it's up to three times the price of the economy, sometimes more expensive than some business classes, with less to no benefits. Looking at you, Lufthansa and Co.

[@arandomgoalie]

I typically fly Delta, and I once flew premium economy from Salt Lake to London Heathrow. The seats weren't too much to write home about, but there was definitely more legroom. There were a lot more options for meal service, and they gave you a pillow, blanket, all the conventional overnight flight kit, but also basic toiletries like a travel toothbrush and a tiny little roll of toothpaste. So not too different from economy, but just different enough to make it worth the extra money.

[@RandySolis-pg6eb]

What’s the cost of premium economy from Austin, Texas to Reno Nevada?

[@user-zs8pn2ps3f]

This airline 🤌why did they stop the direct flight from chennai to hk???

[@rizalie2003]

Nope. I beg to differ. If you’re going to pay for a premuim economy class come on .. pay business class . get it, right.

[@jschudel777]

When ever I check premium economy, it's about 2x to 2.5x eco, while business is 3x eco. Never saw an interesting deal on premium eco yet. If premium eco would be max 1.5x eco, it would be a no brainer.

[@Ceasefirerightnow]

Just found out about economy premium lol. I always though there were only 3 classes

[@kaiyang-vj4no]

I went on Cathay pacific in economy

[@ryanm7171]

Many airlines charge at least twice the price, not just 20%. If it were just even 33% more, I would always fly premium economy, but it isn't. You were very lucky.

I was on Cathey pacific 780 it was super scary

[@MUFC_DylanG]

Basically Singapore economy

[@fruitpunch5260]

It’s just too expensive, it’s usually 2-3x the price of an economy ticket which is just absurd. Maybe if u got it on points…

[@sohaibmohammed6498]

I am finding online that premium economy is always 50% more of economy price 😢🤔

[@YourName_Playz]

as someone who always flies cathay pacific when i lived in hong kong i can agree it is very nice and one of the best airlines ive flown on

[@magnustan841]

If only all premium economy was a 20% price hike over economy on most flights it’s being offered. Max I would do is 40% higher, but airlines seem to think it’s business class. Given the airlines I have access to and typically fly, hard to justify even a 20% hike, because their economy is good enough.

You need to compare premium to economy. Some airlines give you 1inch more legroom and .5 inch wider seat. Not worth it in my opinion.
