Premium economy deals are always great, especially on a five-star airline like Singapore. We're seeing great deals from Los Angeles (LAX), Seattle (SEA), San Francisco (SFO) and New York (JFK) to cities in Asia such as Tokyo (NRT) and Singapore (SIN) and even a nonstop ticket in premium economy to Frankfurt (FRA).

Most of the routes are nonstop, though the New York to Singapore ticket includes a layover in Frankfurt. We first spotted the deal to Singapore on FlyerTalk. You can read our review of Singapore Premium Economy here.
