premium economy

Has anyone experienced getting a free EconomyX seat on flight to LA with platinum status? I'm flying there over the holidays, in economy, and EconomyX seats are $219 each way. Not sure I want to pay that price so was wondering if I should ask when I get to the airport.

I know that platinum get free upgrade to economy X on domestic flights if they are available but was wondering if you are gold and request it in the lounge before the flight do they have the ability to approve it? Just wondering because today on my flight there was almost no one sitting in the...

Hi guys I am tossing up at the moment whether to just purchase using cash economy seats for our family of 3 (+ an infant) or whether I gamble on premium economy reward seats coming up close to departure and book economy reward seats which I then cancel if PE rewards come up (or better yet...

Hi all, not sure if this has been raised before, but I noticed over the weekend that SQ recently changed their PE fare buckets again. They've added a new category called Premium Economy Lite on certain routes, to go with their PE Standard and Flexi fares. PE Standard is coded as P, Flexi is...

I've been using Virgin's economy X product this year to travel between Brisbane and Perth, and one of the advertised benefits is priority boarding. What I have found all year, and am continuing to notice is that every single time I am using priority lane, the initial reaction is sir you should...

Hi all I'd love to get some thoughts on what are the best strategies on getting a gate upgrade from Economy to Business. What has the group tried - what worked, what didnt?

I need to go from Melbourne to Washington-Dulles and it looks like I might be able to get the client to pay for Y+. It looks like the 787 has better Y+ but I've heard poor reviews of the seat pitch. Options are: MEL-LAX-IAD MEL-SYD-DFW-IAD MEL-BNE-LAX-IAD First option is quickest but involves...

Planning a quick trip to London Feb flying QF1 Missed all the good sales (maybe boxing day ?) Pondering would I be better off having comfort seat or premium economy? Do all the arms rests go up on A380 for Qantas? Also then wondering chances of upgrade to business Thanks for the advice

Not a rant but wanted to share my disappointment. I'm quite a fan of the SQ product and fly them as much as possible. However, my recent flight SIN - BNE was a PE flight that landed in BNE at approx 7AM. Once boarded we had no bottled water (We did on the way out) and the dinner served was...

Just doing some searches for Mel-Per trip and noticed PY product is saleable now on the Dom legs of QF9/10.I was aware you could do redemptions and points upgrades but don’t recall the PY product saleable on the Dom tags. The fare conditions drop down doesn’t show points or status earned yet.The...

I'm looking to book flights Melbourne - Europe for next September. Thai Airways have cheap Business Class fares on offer at the moment. Questions: 1) I've read bad reports about Thai Business Class seats not being comfortable. Can people confirm this? 2) Are Thai Business Class seats often on...

On this version of the 747 SeatGuru Seat Map Qantas Boeing 747-400 (744) Three Class V2 what's the legroom like in the bulkhead seats 36J and K? Any comments from experience or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Is legroom restricted much?

When booking say PER to LAX in Y+, the domestic sector is in Y between PER and SYD. Does anyone know what fare class this falls into in terms of SC earn and for upgrades for the domestic sector in Y?

Can anyone please advise on the best seating for a couple in PE to LAX? I have only been on the pre-fit out 777 and found the bulkhead a little tight. I remember something about this being changed. any updated advice would be great as I need to book ASAP.

I'm turning 40 and been collecting points for a couple of years. I have 370,000 Amex Ascent Premium points, 500,000 Velocity Points and 50,000 Qantas points (a refund from a failed 1st Class Emirates flight after they cancelled flying their A380 from Sydney to Auckland last year)... I'm looking...

Recently, I traveled on this new service, AA56 (upgraded 777), a few points. I was in 16A, which was nice as it's got unlimited leg room. Seat was pretty decent, not hugely roomy width wise though. Recline wasn't great to be honest. The weird bit was placement of the headphones, at the back of...

Hi all, Long time since I have posted here. Not even much of a lurker these days! In 6 months ago did MEL-TLV return on Cathay (outbound in premium economy, return in business) but I fear that I didn't maximise potential points and status benefits as I simply credited to my Qantas FF account...

I was searching SYD-HKG flights next year and I noticed from April the flights QF127/128 and QF 117/118 were both A330 flights. I rang the QF Call desk and they confirmed this was correct and not just a system glitch. Obviously this will mean the 747 is being removed on this route - yet it will...
