Is Premium Economy Class worth the price? It does give you better seats, better catering and some perks, but is it enough?

If the extra cost isn't large, the legroom would make it worthwhile on a 7-hour trip for those of us with long legs. The meal might not satisfy the appetite of a young, active person, but it looked quite adequate for older folks like me.

The thing I don’t get with premium economy, the jump up in price can often be double the price of an economy seat… for slightly more leg room and a ‘slightly nicer meal’. Occasionally you get cheap upgrades but if I’m paying £400 for a flight. I’m not paying £400 more to sit in premium economy which I’ve often seen.

Nice trip report. Premium Economy is a good choice on long haul in most cases for most carriers. And yeah, you're right about that first meal being on the small side, would have expected a bit more. But the before landing "meal" was a joke to me. That's not a meal, but a snack, and looked insubstantial.

@thethailandcelt8394 2 жыл бұрын

Great report Felix, to me it definitely seemed worth the little extra cost. Unfortunately the return leg of my first trip with this airline was a 12 hour Bkk to Frankfurt in economy. Once seated I removed my shoes, placed them in the overhead and on settling in to my seat I discovered that the floor was very wet from a spillage on the incoming flight. My socks and feet were now wet and the aircraft was just finishing boarding. My requests for help fell on deaf ears and once airborne when the seat belt signs were turned off I again asked the same male crew member for help. His response was that if I continued to be bothersome then the police would be waiting for me in Frankfurt. So as not to be rude to the other passengers I kept the sodden socks on for 12 hours!

Probably a quarter or a third of them have pointed out the coat hook, and in all that time I have seen exactly one video where anybody actually hung anything on the hook.

@neilpickup237 2 жыл бұрын

No need for passport control between Austria and Germany because they are both in the Schengen area, but going onwards to Kenya (or any other country which is not in the Schengen area including the Republic of Ireland) requires an exit passport control. Flights between Schengen countries are treated as domestic, so you will not have passed through any official passport control.

@@neilpickup237 I know all that as an EU citizen you can travel anywhere in the schengen area (except the Republic of Ireland) without a passport. What I was asking was on your journey through the airport do they have a check point for flights leaving the EU before you get to the gate.,

@neilpickup237 2 жыл бұрын

@@francismcdonnell753 yes they do check before you get to the gate. Effectively the airport is divided into two zones with passport control between the two. As for EU citizens being able to move within the Schengen countries, this usually applies to all travellers once they have entered the zone. Although I believe that due to covid restrictions additional checks which may affect this ability (even for EU citizens) have been introduced.
