    SQ - Which routes have Premium Economy?

    I've even called them and they have told me that for when I plan to fly in April, there will be premium economy, but on their website it states it's a mixed class fare.

    Upgrading: does electing for Y+ reduce your chances of getting upgraded to J?

    Does anyone know if, when flying Y, electing for Y+ reduces your chances of getting upgraded to J? I guess that would never be made public. I think I'd rather throw my hat in the ring for J if electing Y+ even remotely reduced my chances.

    Anyone flown PE on QF A380 Refurbed birds?

    Just out of curiosity, has anyone flown on the refurbed A380s and more specifically, has anyone been seated in 31A/B/J/K. I know these seats don't have the great extra legroom feature as 24A/B/J/K (which in 12 months time will be phased out,) but according to seatguru.com, Row 31 is...

    Economy vs Premium Meals

    My family travelled on QF36 in both classes. Was a bit suprised the choices for the dinner were the same except Neil's leaves! I travelled in Premium and enjoyed the hot breakfast though. I felt that was better than the usual egg and bacon roll in J! Not sure what happened here.

    QANTAS Vs Virgin PE to US (and then MEX)

    I want to fly PE SYD->MEX return next year (1/6-8/6/20) and I see QANTAS have a PE deal for $3200 via Dallas with their 380, whereas Virgin costs around $3400 via LAX on the 777. I believe the US->MEX leg will be Economy only. Has anyone flown these 2 routes to the US and can compare them? I...

    Singapore airlines - paying for extra leg room on Economy & Premium Economy

    Over the past 2 years I purchased on 5 separate occasions extra leg room on Singapore Airlines. When paying extra on a flight you do have some expectation of getting at least the same service or better in the cabin. From my experience you get the following: 100% of the time you will be the last...
