You won’t get any arguments about reclining in this economy seat

Flying overnight from Singapore is always a difficult trip, but I’m in one of the best economy seats you’ll find without paying for extra legroom.

Inside the economy cabin. The first six rows offer extra legroom.

This airline seat offers great legroom, but miserly food offerings

Upgrading to the extra legroom seats is well worth the price, but nine hours of fasting may leave you famished.

United Arab Emirates

When it comes to the pointy end, Emirates is all class. Its Australian codeshare partner needs to start paying attention.

This is a rare economy class flight I actually wish was longer

The cabin crew’s service lacks warmth, but it’s made up for with comfortable seats and a huge range of entertainment options.

★★★★½
Finland

This premium economy is a worthwhile step-up from cattle class

Premium economy risks being double the price and not very different to regular economy, but there are several reasons Finnair is worth the extra cost.

The extra legroom in Air Canada’s premium economy is appreciated.
★★★½
Air travel

Excellent service, but is this premium seat really worth twice the price?

Props to the crew for their service, but does the extra legroom and elevated dinner service warrant paying more than double the price of a standard economy seat?
