But these days, one of the hottest cabins on the plane is the one right in the middle.
I’m talking about premium economy — those spacious recliner seats that are your classic hybrid (of cost and comfort) between business class and coach.
Don’t want to shell out the points (or cash) needed for a lie-flat bed, but want a better meal and more space? It’s about to be a far more common choice when you go to book a flight.
Starting today: American Airlines will launch true domestic premium economy service on its top transcontinental route. If you take this flight often, it’s an enticing new option.
First look: I just got an inside look at the world’s newest premium economy product, which made its U.S. debut Friday night. And you can use points to book it on flights across the Pacific.
More to come: United Airlines recently said it underestimated how many flyers would want to fly in its Premium Plus cabin — and has a solution to fix it.
