Thanks Anthony! I've got more coming up from this trip. In particular Singapore Airlines Business Class 😉

I think Premium Economy is more than worth it on long haul flights. Like you said - it's about seat/flight comfort. Thanks for the info + video!

Thank you for sharing this trip. Yes, that Premium Plus Economy section there right behind First/Business Clas/Polaris is very good. I think I like the that first row and seating at the window of that section. of courser First/Business Polaris Class with that lay flat seat is way better on long-haul trips. But if you don't have the points but you want better service then I agree with you about paying the extra for a little more comfort.

I enjoy all of your videos, but this one was super cool! I loved this idea, especially since I usually only fly economy! This was a super fun insight! Thanks for sharing with us as always.

I flew Premium Plus from Newark to Tokyo a few years ago and it was definitely worth it. I'm a big guy so that extra width and leg room is worth it. It will be hard flying long haul in a regular economy seat again. It's a great trade off for those that want more space than economy but can't afford business/ first class

Doing SFO to London on United Premium Economy later this summer on the Dreamliner so this is exactly what I needed to know. Thanks! (It still won’t touch our great Singapore to LA flight on Singapore Airlines Premium Economy on New Year’s Eve but beggars can’t be choosers 😊)

Thank you for talking about the leg rest. Most content flyers leave this part out. At 5’2 I cannot always reach the foot rest. I don’t care about the food. A seat with a leg rest is what makes a long haul flight from Seattle to Rome more comfortable. Thx!

Very interesting video, except Topher was missing. Hope he is doing good. I think Premium Economy is worth it, especially if you get your own check-in lane, also with earlier boarding than economy class as well as what you mentioned in your video. Singapore is definitely on my bucket list.

Me and hubby traveled from Japan back to US and upgraded to Economy and plus, and it was so worth it for the long flight.

Air France is only reducing seating from 9 to 8 seats/row in the A350-900 Premium Eco (2-4-2)… will find or how that checks out from Europe to Japan later this year… In the 777 they also reduce from 10 to 8 (2-4-2).

This is helpful as I may be taking United airlines back to the U.S. for an upcoming trip I'm planning for. I cannot sit in econ for an international trip for over 11 hours, so I want to pay a bit more to get more space. Even though I'm petite, my legs and back cannot tolerate long flights with minimal space. Makes a huge difference with more leg room and space to tilt the seat back. Too bad food isn't appetizing, but I'm not really paying for better food for this matter....I guess if I want better food and the full package, I'll go for business class - a different flight that is.

Wow - you’re lucky. I have never been able to sleep on long haul flights.

I sat at the window seat at 2:02 when I went. I was checking the seating on the app before boarding and saw that entire row and behind it was empty on a pretty full flight and immediately changed my seat before they locked it it. It was amazing being able to sleep comfortably, but people kept trying to steal the exit row in front the whole flight until they literally roped it off.

Regarding the seat, do you think it was comfortable enough for a flight of 16 hours for someone who has severe back pain? Have you flown AA or DL’s premium economy? I have flown AA’s premium economy on a 9 hour flight and wonder how United’s Premium Economy seat compares. Thanks so much!

I would always go with the omelet. I really like the omelets on United, they're excellent.

Wonder when the day will come an airline launches first class only for the entire plane in a fleet? They could charge midway between economy plus and forms and still fill the plane.

Thank you.

how far does the seat recline. It would like to see the leg rest, not just the foot rest.

I thought in Premium Plus from ORd to London they give you the same food as Polaris but I am not positive.

Omg this is even more proof why I'll stick to Singapore Air lol

Cause it’s meaningless to say that. Price fluctuates from day to day, and a huge difference in/after pandemic. If you are curious, just search yourself. It takes shorter time to leave a negative comment like this. FWIW, it was mentioned it was booked using 73000 United miles 😊

Do you remember how much you paid for the upgrade? What’s the max amount you would consider?

For those who have used the headphones, are they decent for movies or should I bring my own?

It means your flight crew was either timed out or flown in.

Love the seat, but if the choice is a $800 coach versus $2000 premium plus, then it becomes a lot harder of a decision to make

I flew Premium Plus last night from SFO to EWR for the first time. I was in 22G on the aisle. Seat width was ok. The fixed foot rest wasn't really good. The pop out leg rest was pretty much unusable - my feet/legs were most comfortable with my feet extended under the seat in front of me. because of the installation supports, my under seat storage was limited. I typically select either window or aisle seats. In this case, I would have selected a center seat to get more room if I had known. The United Club in SFO Terminal 3 feels dated. The line was long due to several passengers getting customer service needs taken care of at the check in desk, even though there is a staffed customer service desk as soon as you pass the check-in desk. Furniture was just sad, many seat cushions badly ripped up.

Timing! Just landed in SFO from SIN a few hours ago...we tried a few times to use miles to upgrade, but never seem to get it? Got it only once. United waits till the last minute to allow people to pay $$$ and there seems to be plenty of people who are willing to pay the extra $834 for SIN-SFO (not us 🤣). They need more economy plus premium seats! We don't usually try to get it going to S.E. Asia. For going there we stop in Japan for jetlag recovery. There is a flight that leaves SFO in late morning and lands around 3pm the next day (hotel check in time) in Japan. The whole flight of 10 hrs is all awake time for CA. Check-in, grab a bite, go to bed. Then in 1 or 2 days we are in the time zone. Japan is an easy 10 hr flight vs. going thru SIN at 17 hrs. We spend a few days in Tokyo (who doesn't like Japan?) to acclimatize and then head south on a 7hr flight to SE Asia. Coming home we do the 15 hours (tail winds) SIN-SFO. We can deal with jetlag at home by watching your KZread videos at 2am.😂

The sad part is how worth it can really depend on the plane, these seats on many domestic flight aircraft are exactly what you get when you pay for business class. I say that if you have the money for premium economy to take it. The slight increase in seat space really makes a difference on that long flight, but make sure you're paying attention to the specific airline's specific plane for that route. Some will charge you premium economy for the first few rows of economy, so it's the same seat but with the "slightly better" food of premium economy (which we established is not really worth it).

I really like United’s PE. The fact there’s so few seats makes it more exclusive and it’s a great seat. It’s much better than PE on Air France. Next trip I think I’m going to try Polaris to Milan. That should be quite the experience.

I just flew United Premium Plus from London to Newark two days ago. I loved the extra leg room, but I must say that for some reason it was the most uncomfortable flight I’ve had in quite some time.

If you have a credit for United (as I have on Chase Sapphire), there will likely be no premium economy or premium plus seats available, even reserving 3 months out. It's either economy for a 17-hour flight to Japan or apply the credit to a first class, $24,000 ticket.

UA late as usual. IMO their premium economy on the 787 is far inferior to the Singapore Airlines Premium Economy on the A350. I far prefer the seats on the A350. And the service isn't even close. UA is usually lackluster, SIA often exceeds expectations.
