surface Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) The title says it all. Have only flown TG premium and can't find any info on other airlines offering similar class for these routes. Edit: OK, just found a post about EVA and Etihad having such flights from NYC, checking prices now. Any others?

tw25rw Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I think Singapore do, but obviously you'll have to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampo Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I think Singapore do, but obviously you'll have to change. Singapore used to offer executive economy on its Newark, NJ to Singapore nonstop, but switched it over to all business class several months ago.

britmaveric Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 EVA has premium economy from San Fran, assume the same for LAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredusn Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 EVA has premium economy from San Fran, assume the same for LAX. Just returned via Eva elite (economy) class round trip BKK/SFO and can say I Would never spend the extra monies again, not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampo Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 JAL and ANA have introduced premium economy on some of their US-Japan routes, but I believe that the fares are considerably higher than what Thai Air charged for its premium economy.

lifeisrandom Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 all the premim fares left are ALOT higher than Thais were thai had it for like 50-65k if i remember now its like 120-150k and only slightly less than business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 United offers economy plus, extra leg room but not business class seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdechgan Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Don't bother with premium economy. You pay like 150% of the economy price yet you only get like 2 inches more room and the same food and service. Either pay the 200% for business J class or stick to THAI's economy. I don't think many people will be flying with THAI because of their prices so that just means more space for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some of us, 2 inches (usually more like 4) is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 United offers economy plus, extra leg room but not business class seating. Can you actually book and buy it? My colleagues flying United from Tokyo told me it's only interest that you express and before the flight they (UA) decide who (from their own FF progamme, not from ANA or SQ or anyone else from StarAlliance) will be upgraded.

bubba Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 TG have premium economy on their nonstop LAX flights using an A340-500. Better be quick though....they are discontinuing the service effective 26 October and replacing it with one stop service through Osaka using 777-200s. Those aircraft do not have premium economy.

rampo Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I've already given my little paean to Korean Air's transpacific economy in another thread, but I think it's worth mentioning again owing to dearth of reasonably priced premium economy. Korean economy offers 34" legroom; not quite a nice as Thai Air had on its 340-500s (36" in economy, 42" in premium economy), but an improvement over the 31" or 32" on many other airlines. I also like the 3-3-3 seating arrangement on Korean's 777-200s, although couples may prefer sitting in the last rows of its 747s where the seating is 2-4-2.

surface Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Not for me, but friend just booked his ticket on Cathy. TG premium was nice when you could upgrade for about $150 - $200 each way, and it was totally worth it. Night and day. I guess those days are gone.

chonnikan Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I just came back from NYC last week, departing from Newark. Took EVA premium economy, now called Elite class. Business class seats, a lot more space for the leg room. Not sure how much it costs because the company paid for it. But i have a feeling it's not much more than economy class. Definitely worth it.
