In short, premium economy is almost never worth paying the additional money for. Premium economy seats are potentially the highest margin airfares for airlines. With so many more websites offering air miles and credit card tips to upgrade to business and first, premium economy is a buffer.

Share to twitterIn short, premium economy is almost never worth paying the additional money for. Of all the flying I do, you will almost never see me in premium economy. However, premium economy seats are potentially the highest margin airfares for airlines, and there is a reason why so many airlines are placing that small premium economy cabin between those ever cramped economy seats and expensive business class offerings.

Are passengers really that bothered about a slightly better reheated meal in the sky? I’m certainly not, and I would suggest you either grin and bear economy, or find a bargain business class fare to start with. Passengers are likely to get just an extra inch or two of seat width versus economy and just a little extra recline as well. Airlines will advertise the potential of priority boarding, and extra baggage, but are these menial extras really worth the cost to you? Personally, I would strongly recommend against premium economy unless the price is marginally more than standard economy.
