Anyone slept in premium economy, long haul? Did it make much difference vs economy?

It was better.
- seats were more comfortable: a bit wider, improved pitch and recline, foot rest (even still one could not completely stretch out), more spacious overall;
- one seat mate (non-center);
- food was possibly a step above economy, no where near first class quality;
- economy service unfortunately

Even with increased seat comforts I could not sleep.

Is it better than economy?
- yes if you were in a middle economy seat
- no if you were in your preferred economy seat w/ an empty seat next to you
- possibly if you were in your preferred economy seat and your row was full. If the price was within reason yes.

Depends on airline, but usually a huge improvement

If you can find an airline that the premium economy has a "cradle seat". Much better.

u remember which one had that for u?

It really depends not only on the airline, but also on the specific plane model. In general, I tend to prefer configurations and seats on Airbus A330-900's to the Boeing 777's.

But to answer your question: yes, I was able to sleep pretty well on a long haul to Tokyo on ANA, but typically I need to be in Business to actually sleep.

OP, which product are you planning on booking?

Yea, happy to chat about specific products in DMs. It varies a lot from brand to brand and even from aircraft to aircraft

I loved the Premium economy on American airlines when I flew from India to the USA. It is worth it.

Yes, got great sleep. Better than the economy seat.

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
