Rare Vict0riann Posted October 29, 2021 Author #626 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Premium Economy on Lufthansa was great, bigger, more comfortable seats, with a wider armrest. Unfortunately no way to charge my devices. The seats were in the front of the economy cabin, not separated except by a small bit of plastic. I don’t know about PE on American. I imagine they are all different. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend going to seatguru.com. They should show the setup based on the plane you would be using. If you do not have an actual date and flight selected I'd suggest trying a couple of different possible flights. Roy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highscar Posted October 29, 2021 #628 Share Posted October 29, 2021 On our premium economy on a flight to Australia there was so much room between our seat and the tv we had to get out of our seats to change to the Chanel on the TVs. Didn’t matter for him. He slept. Not me. Lol. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go to SeatGuru - lots of information - I would be looking at AA flying on a 777-200 with the seat configuration of So wider (those 2" necessary as I am...big (or I understand the new term is...fluffy), and a bit more legroom, And better/more service, and I think the seats recline more - described at same as domestic First Class. Prices are ~2x economy, but 30% TO 60% of business class (day dependent) - so quite a bit of savings. Interestingly - on the day when the difference is only 60% it is because the PE price goes up, and business drops down in price to be much closer. In reading through the data. we will try to get the bulkhead seats - normally we do not, but the seats are a bit different for AA on this plane, and a better footrest arrangement. The non-stop really cuts down the total travel time to just over 9 hours. Thanks you for your help...I can book the flight on Monday when points booking opens for that day. Thank you for your help Now back to your regularly scheduled Food Porn... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john2003 Posted October 30, 2021 #631 Share Posted October 30, 2021 VictOriann have a good flight home. You have missed a lot of rain, wind and ferry cancellations!! However. No frost so the Dahlias are still busy blooming. Premier Horgan had a throat biopsy today so we wish him well. Covid cases still too high here, including on the island. I don't quite understand the high numbers given our high vax numbers. You have been very brave to see this through, well done. Looks as though we will have to wait for our June Alaska cruise on the NA. John 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted October 30, 2021 Author #632 Share Posted October 30, 2021 It is sad and rainy here in Barcelona - I didn’t know it rains in Catalunya! We packed our umbrellas…. No one has been able to submit their ArriveCan forms, Hope it will go from the Airport. They are already calling disembarkations, and it’s only 7:30. We are yellow 1, should be 8 to 8:30. we are definitely more “fluffy” now than when we boarded. I won’t need to eat for a while. Hope we don’t have to quarantine for two weeks. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highscar Posted October 30, 2021 #637 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I should say we were at the bulkhead. Not all premium economy rows have as much leg room. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida_gal_50 Posted October 30, 2021 #643 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I wonder what would happen if you didn’t have a smart phone to do the arrive can app given the strong objection to qr coded for menus on this board.

SJSULIBRARIAN Posted October 30, 2021 #644 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Thank you for your wonderful reports. I really admire those who have flown internationally to board a cruise. I still can't bring myself to do that but will in time I hope. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all thanked us so often for cruising and asked us to cruise again soon. We tipped a lot more this time than before, knowing what they have suffered. Filling out the survey is another thing that many asked us to do. 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
