United Premium Economy: Is it as good as Business Class?

Check out more travel videos on my IG: / coffeewithanshu
Is premium economy worth it? How is the food? What about the space? I had all these questions for the longest time myself and I finally go to experience United Premium Economy last month!
This was an 8.5 hour long-haul flight from Washington, DC to Geneva, Switzerland. I am extremely thankful that I got to finally fly on this.
We hope you enjoy watching and stay tuned for our the next destination!

    Great video. Love the edits and how you put it together. I have flown United, was not too impressed...it felt like a very cheap experience but granted that was just going from SFO to MSP. I bet it is different going on an international flight. Loved Air New Zealand, there staff is awesome, would love to fly them again!

    I scored a premium seat on the way back from Munich on United for 400 bucks and 800 for a business class seat on the way out. Looking forward to trying both seats. Either way beats sitting in the trunk 😉.

    I typically travel first class on all domestic flights; (after years of paying my dues seated in the back) But have yet to do so on an international flight; not sure the cost/benefit. analysis warrants it. These seats look about the same as those in domestic first but considering the option of seven hours plus in economy I think they're likely worth every penny! Thanks so much for the objective and informative review!

    oh interesting observation! do you have a hack for first class in domestic flights? we also always do economy. is there a good way to get upgrades to first class or certain time of booking you use? and yes, this premium economy was definitely more comfortable for 7 hour+ flights. def worth a try.

    If the seat is not wider than a standard economy seat it does me no good since I stopped running 10Ks and half-marathons. Like pulling myself out of a sardine can at the end of the flight. 😕

    We always fly united or one other partner airlines. We have a ton of points from decades of using their CCs so often upgrade to business or a mid grade. They are not bad, but not as nice as some of the non US flag carriers. Air New Zealand is similar in quality, but the planes are cleaner, and the cabin crew younger.
