    ***Thanks for the Great video!*** I am planning my 5th trip from LAX to Bangkok. I have flown business class the previous 4 times but now after seeing this video I will be stepping slightly down to Premium Economy...the money I'll save will cover my hotel in Pattaya Thailand for a whole month! ***This is a no-brainer now!***

    It appears that "premium" gives you a few meaningful extras to make such a long trip tolerable. Just the more generous seating would be a big plus. The food looked good, almost as good as I've seen on some business class videos. An informative report.

    It's really the perfect bridge and for the right price, can turn a brutal long haul flight in economy, into an enjoyable ride without breaking the bank on business class.

    I know how it feels.... I flew economy from Heathrow airport (England) to Sydney, Via Dubai.Like a 2 nights and a day of flying only about 20mins between the two flights.It was hell, but so so so worth it.I miss Oz so much.Been a year and we are hoping to go to NZ in like two years with the family we went to Australia with. (8 of us, me ,my parents, my brother, the girl and boy of the other family and their parents) We are all going to Sardinia, Italy in just a few weeks together as well!!!! About mid June.Cant wait! I love travelling

    What a fantastic post about AA's Premium Economy product! In a few weeks we're flying to FCO on a 787 and then returning from CDG on an A330 in AA's Premium Economy and was curious about the amenities, food and most importantly SEAT & PERSONAL SPACE as compared to Business Class. I'm very happy that we opted to pay for Premium rather than burn through AAdvantage miles for Business Class. We also chose the bulkhead seats since it seemed they are much more private and have the added bonuses of nobody reclining into you and footrests as opposed to those bicycle pedal things. Thanks for sharing!

    Great explanation and I appreciate your honesty. Your perspective coming from business class to premium economy was a fresh take. We’re going to Greece in a couple of months and it’s going to be a non-stop from US. My Husband is 6’1 and 50” wide chest, he’s 235. He’s hoping he’ll catch a good nap. Does the leg rest go up like a recliner?

    I took this flight last October-November 2018. Over all you are totally correct it is a good bridge between Very expensive Biz class and torture econ. They served the Stromboli as a mid flight snack on my flight and it was so repulsive I spit the first bite out and left the rest. I am someone that can eat just about anything, it was that bad! The rest of the food was ok.

    I didn't find it to be bothersome in the second row. The TV does tilt up or down on the seat back so you can adjust it based on your height/preference. If anything, I enjoy the seat back TV more because the one in the front row requires you to look down the whole time which can be taxing on your neck.
