Airline: Premium Economy

[_Cathy_]

Has anyone tried? Is it a good buy? I think you get access to the lounge and the 2-3-2 configuration is decent.

For comparison, I am looking at Eva Air online

Economy P60k
Premium Economy P80k
Business P240k

I absolutely hate flying esp long haul and getting cramped in a small space beside strangers is giving me anxiety. My Mom gave me a budget of P120k and I want to save as much as possible. Last time I flew, business was less than USD3k, now I can't afford it Also, my Mom said I should just fly economy

For me, sulit ang price difference ng Premium economy. Better food and more space compared sa economy class. If you could request na sa exit row ka uupo, much better.

You mean front row, not emergency exit, right? Emergency exit rows may have.more lwg room BUT the seats don't recline as much as the regular seats, if they recline at all.

I've tried premium economy on Etihad, worth it for the leg room. Food is the same. Now I don't anymore as I frequently get upgraded to business class or get transfered to premium economy seats for free.

I doubt if premium eco tickets allow you entry to the lounge. Business class and above and frequent flyer silver or higher lang ang alam ko na free. There are however airports with pay lounges, and there are lounges where platinum level credit card holders are allowed free entry. Check your cc if it gives you that privilege.

premium eco seat ba yung seated ka sa bandang bulkhead? i don't prefer that seat since mostly makakatapat o makatabi mo sa middle row seat are family with kids. se economy, i sit mostly dun sa last seat sa katabi ng CR kahit mag-recline ka ng sandalan waland magreklamo. i have instances na yung nasa likod ko, galaw ng galaw or tinutukod yung paa then yung ugali ng pinoy na niyuyogyog ang paa.

i seldom get upgraded na bro. dati mga 2 years ago ang bait ng emirates, qatar at etihad mag-upgrade kahit silver card, now madamot na sila

Bro, may separate section ang Premium Eco parang business and first class. Mas maluwag yung seat width and better seat pitch.

I get what you mean about the bulkhead seats. For me, I prefer bulkhead seats whether Eco or Premium Eco so I can easily stretch my legs

Depending on the destination but PAL business to east coast destination is only $2K (round trip).

Baka gusto ni Cathy mag-stopover muna sa Taiwan

[Egan101]

EVA Air offers decent seats even in its economy, same as the economy seats of Asiana. It's much, much better than Cebu Pacific.

We are taking EVA Air on our trip to the US next week.

asiana has nice stewardess" compared to delta lol. love the stopover too.

Yes, Asiana has quite a few good-looking flight attendants, even their Filipino cabin crews. Their Korean cabin crews are mostly "retokada". Cosmetic surgery is well-accepted in Korea. Parents would spend a good amount of money to have their kids go thru cosmetic surgery.

Delta has good-looking flight attendants within the Manila-Japan leg but on the Japan-US leg of trip, most are middle-aged and sometimes grumpy Americans.

The EVA (hobo economy) inflight experience here has been significantly better than that from the flag carrier. For promdis, skipping Manila is 1 big thorn off our butts. Scheds to & fro the US are Bisdak favorable, too. EVA>PAL[emoji106]

i don't know yung sa pa US but premium eco to regular economy ay parehas lang ang service. you earn more air miles nga lang sa premium kung airline club member ka.

get the isle seat lalo if you frequent the restroom or you want flexibility in standing up and do some stretchings. if ayaw mo may katabing stranger at maayos ang food, no choice but mag-business class, its what you are paying for[emoji846] i remember in one of my trips via dubai, nakatabi ko si ruffa g., natulog lang the whole duration ng flight with matching talukbong pa ng blanket[emoji2357]

I would rather die than sit in the aisle Claustro nga ko. I hate hate hate flying Ayoko talaga may katabing stranger but I'm not paying P200k+ for business class. That is why I am asking how premium economy is because the seats are bigger than economy and with more leg room. Maybe I can get a better deal (asked a travel agent na) Sa kwento kasi sakin sobrang cramped ng economy. Sabi nga ex ko sa cebu pacific, para siyang sumakay sa bus sa EDSA. May nagtitindi pa daw ng mani (not sure if that is a joke)

Kung economy ng Cebu Pacific, it's not something for long flights. The economy of Delta or United is not good also.

Economy of Asiana and EVA Air is very decent. Same din daw with Singapore Air, Korean Air, and ANA, as well as the Middle East carriers.

sa aisle seat kasi you can freely move. pag window seat at na full bladder ka you still have to move the people to get out. Its stupid when people try to step over passengers.


get used to sitting beside strangers.. thats the norm sa planes...

Sleep thru half day's flight w/ meals & movies in between. Personally, I can't afford/justify paying above floor to grab me some limited short term comfort. Just me...If others can....can't you, ma'am?[emoji4]

I used PAL’s Premium Economy on their A350 which is much better than Economy.

I picked the front row which had massive leg room and provided the window seat person access to the toilet without the aisle seat person having to stand up to let them through.
