The 2-3-2 seating configuration worked great for my partner and me. We could sit together without a middle passenger. The extra recline helped us both sleep well on the overnight flight to Berlin.

The Premium Economy on my Frankfurt to NYC flight was fantastic. Much more legroom than regular economy, and the meal service was significantly better. The seat reclined nicely for sleeping, though the entertainment system was a bit slow to respond. Worth the extra cost for long-haul flights.
The Premium Economy cabin felt more spacious and the priority boarding was convenient. Food quality was good but portions were smaller than expected.
The seats were comfortable and I appreciated the priority boarding. However, the cabin crew seemed overwhelmed and service was slower than expected. The amenity kit was nice but nothing special. Food was average - better than economy but not amazing.
Was skeptical about paying extra but glad I did. The dedicated lavatory for Premium Economy passengers was much cleaner than economy. Seat comfort was excellent for sleeping.
Expected more for what I paid. The seat was only marginally better than economy plus on other airlines. Entertainment selection was limited and the headphones provided were poor quality.
The extra legroom and wider seats made it easy to work during the flight. Power outlets worked perfectly and the tray table was sturdy enough for my laptop. Cabin crew was attentive without being intrusive.
Flew Premium Economy on a 12-hour flight and was impressed with the comfort level. The footrest was a nice touch and the blanket was actually warm enough. Only complaint was that the entertainment system froze twice during the flight.
Good compromise between economy and business class. The meal was surprisingly good and the cabin was quieter than the main economy section. Would book again for flights over 6 hours.
While the seats are comfortable, the service felt rushed and impersonal. Had to ask multiple times for a drink refill. The amenity kit was basic and the meal timing was off - served dinner too early into the flight.
Flying Premium Economy to Munich was a game-changer. The 38-inch seat pitch gave me plenty of room to work on my laptop. Loved the dedicated check-in counter and priority baggage handling. The wine selection was impressive too.
Comfortable seats and decent food. The extra space made the 8-hour flight much more bearable.
Yes, meals are included and feature enhanced quality with multiple course options, premium ingredients, and complimentary alcoholic beverages. Premium Economy passengers are served before Economy class and receive larger portions with more sophisticated presentation.
Cancellation and change policies depend on the fare type purchased, with more flexible options typically available for higher fare categories. Most Premium Economy tickets allow changes for a fee, while cancellation terms vary from non-refundable to partially refundable depending on the specific fare rules.
