Here is another video within the 'series' of top ten travel classes. Since both of my videos have proved to be popular, I have decided, yet again, to upload a premium economy version. Here are the airlines in order with their websites:
10 - Virgin Atlantic: www.virgin-atlantic.com/us/en....
9 - British Airways: www.britishairways.com/travel/...
8 - Cathay Pacific: www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_HK...
7 - Etihad: www.etihad.com/en-us/
6 - Air France: www.airfrance.us/
5 - Japan Airlines: www.jal.com
4 - Qantas: www.qantas.com.au/
3 - ANA: www.ana.co.jp
2 - Turkish Airlines: www.turkishairlines.com/
1 - Air New Zealand: www.airnewzealand.com/

I ABSOLUTELY agree that Air France Premium Economy made your top ten. It is SUPER comfortable, and comparable to business class on other airlines. Air New Zealand's looks AMAZING! Have to try that in the future. Truth be told, Premium Economy is a nice way for those of us that aren't super wealthy to fly with more comfort, space and amenities. Personally, I think anyone who is snotty and pretentious enough to say that the $$$$ on airlines is made in the front of the plane is full of crap. Economy classes have ALWAYS been the airline industry's cash cow. That's why it's ALWAYS the cabin with the most seats on any aircraft the WORLD over!

As long as they aren't on strike. We were supposed to fly Air France in April and had to scramble for three hours on the phone to get another airline to take us. Thankfully KLM was there for us.

KLM is also a GREAT airline as well. I flew them home from Amsterdam years ago. LOVED them.

Last time I looked in to booking Air France they had had hard shell (non-reclining seats). The video appears to show that. As someone who is tall that’s an absolute no-no.

The seats are almost not reclinable, why the hell should i pay extra for that? You have more width, so you can sit diagonally, you can move easily, you have your "territory", bit flying sitting straight is still a torture. I only flew them and Lufthansa, the latter is MUCH better!

Air New Zealand is brilliant service in premium economy. Flew with them from LA to Melbourne and return. The seats are great as you can curl up in them (middle ones) and the sides ones give you that little bit of extra privacy. The food and wine selection is fantastic. You get business class meals, real knives, forks and glassware. Prices are really good too. Also few this leg in Business class, which I highly recommend. Apparently their sky couch in economy is good too. Can't rate NZ high enough!

Most definitely agree with Japan Airlines in the top 5! It looks impressive in Premium Economy and the customer service is like no other. What I like too is how the seats recline, in that, the back of the chair stays immobile (so you're not backing up into the person behind you) yet it's the seat/cushion that you maneuver to a reclining position. Full thumbs up to JAL, and special kudos to Turkish Airlines as well (great food and service)....

Now its a more standard run of the mill business class seat, although things like food and service are superior than most other premium economy.

Absolutely agree with Air NZ being No 1. We traveled Melb-Auckland-LA in premium economy. It was better than Qantas business class. Food terrific, staff just brilliant and dedicated to making a VERY long trip bearable. Movies electronics excellent. Whenever we travel now I want Air NZ premium economy. I liked Turkish Airlines too but I was in economy for that. Just brilliant. It's Cathay in seven weeks. I doubt given the reviews that it will come anywhere close. Samantha Ward

I flew Premium Economy in the "Space Seats" and they were utterly amazing. The staff are wonderful, the food is great, and the cabin was very peaceful. However, just a head's up that ANZ have refitted their 777s and the Space Seats are gone :( So, just a head's up that ANZ has changed their seating configuration in PE from 2-2-2 to 2-4-2; seating in economy is still 3-4-3. Also, be aware that PE passengers do not have lounge access but it really didn't matter to me. I would still fly ANZ in a heartbeat. They can't be beat for service.

last year I flew with China Airlines on its premium economy and I was very impressed with the staff and the seating arrangements and the big plus was the automatic upgrade to the business class from Taipei to Bangkok. great job.

I used to fly London Hong Kong a lot and would agree with many of your ratings. Virgin Premium Economy was rubbish as you cannot raise the arm rest so cannot stretch across two seats. KLM which doesn't even make your top ten shouldn't either as it was cold, miserable and uncomfortable in PE. BA I used a lot and was sometimes upgraded to Business Class Club Class but their PE offering is very good and comfy. I agree Air New Zealand is the best. I flew London HK with them once in PE upstairs on a Jumbo and it was amazing. Quiet and very comfy, with exceptional food. Their afternoon tea with cakes and scones etc was amazing.

In my opinion WestJet is the best (also known as Plus Fare but same thing). On smaller airplanes it is practically the same thing but with included light snacks. On larger planes the middle seat is used as a mini table with cup holders. Multiple meals are included along with multiple snacks and drinks. Tablets are available for free to watch movies (usually a bit pricey). In select airports there are lounges. And WestJet has the best service in Canada if not North America!
