Premium economy

Frankfurt → Detroit

Frankfurt · Frankfurt Airport (FRA) → Detroit · Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County (DTW)

After a downgrade, Greg describes the conventional Premium Economy chair, legroom and meals on Frankfurt–Detroit. His comfort and catering assessments differ, making this a useful counterpoint to promotional material.

New York → Frankfurt

New York · John F. Kennedy (JFK) → Frankfurt · Frankfurt Airport (FRA)

Seat 12A, dinner, breakfast and entertainment are photographed on JFK–Frankfurt. The airline provided the ticket; the article’s detailed cabin images remain useful when weighed alongside that disclosure.

Chicago → Honolulu

Chicago · O’Hare (ORD) → Honolulu · Daniel K. Inouye International (HNL)

A Montreal-origin trip with Premium Plus on Chicago–Honolulu. Photos of seats 22D and 22E, foot space and meals help couples judge the centre block.

Frankfurt → New York

Frankfurt · Frankfurt Airport (FRA) → New York · Newark Liberty International (EWR)

A 2019 Frankfurt–Newark review that separates the seat from the service. The leg-rest and footrest observations are particularly useful for judging reclined comfort.

London → New York

London · Heathrow (LHR) → New York · Newark Liberty International (EWR)

A London–Newark account of the 767’s 2–2–2 Premium Plus cabin. Useful for contrasting its seat blocks and leg support with the more familiar 787 layout.

Washington, D.C. → Amsterdam

Washington, D.C. · Dulles International (IAD) → Amsterdam · Schiphol (AMS)

A practical account drawing on trips including Washington–Amsterdam. The writer’s height and foot-support observations add context to the seat photographs and upgrade discussion.

London → Los Angeles

London · Heathrow (LHR) → Los Angeles · Los Angeles International (LAX)

An A330-900 London–Los Angeles review with seat, entertainment and meal photographs. Particularly relevant to the usable space on a long daytime flight.

Seattle → London

Seattle · Seattle–Tacoma International (SEA) → London · Heathrow (LHR)

A Seattle–London 767 report with 2–2–2 seating and meal photographs. The lounge visit depends on the writer’s status and should not be read as a standard Premium Select benefit.

Hong Kong → London · CX255

Hong Kong · Hong Kong International (HKG) → London · Heathrow (LHR)

A detailed CX255 report showing the installed new 777 cabin. The privacy wing, storage, screen and differences between seat positions are documented with firsthand photographs.

London → Calgary

London · Gatwick (LGW) → Calgary · Calgary International (YYC)

A 2019 Gatwick–Calgary review of WestJet’s 2–3–2 Premium cabin, with seat, leg-space and meal details. Useful as a separate recliner baseline to Business.

Auckland → Hong Kong · NZ81

Auckland · Auckland Airport (AKL) → Hong Kong · Hong Kong International (HKG)

A March 2026 Auckland–Hong Kong flight in seat 26A on the older 787-9 product. Detailed storage and seat photos sit alongside candid observations on strong service and less impressive bedding.

Auckland → Bali

Auckland · Auckland Airport (AKL) → Bali · Ngurah Rai International (DPS)

An Auckland–Bali review of the older Premium Economy seat, with vegetarian meal and legroom photographs. Useful detail on why a bulkhead is not automatically the best choice for a taller passenger.
