£600 for prem economy

[stopitandtidyupp]

Looking at flights for the summer holidays approximately an 8 hour flight.

There is my daughter, partner and me. The difference between economy and premium for one way is £600. I can't decide whether to pay this or not. My partner says its a waste as £600 would be a great amount of spending money when we are there. I hate being hemmed in though but could manage as its only 8 hours.
I wouldn't book a cheap scruffy hotel room as I wouldn't enjoy it but this is just a seat.

I can't decide. Would you pay £600 for a few more inches?

Id rather sit in economy tbh. I had this same decision last time i went on holiday, money was there but i kept thinking to myself that once i stepped off the plane id regret spending so much just to be in a better seat. I mean if £600 extra isnt a prob for you then go ahead, but personally i wouldnt

I'd book your Economy seats and then see whether there are any offers to upgrade to Premium. Log into the website every few days to check.

I got a good one earlier in the year - I'd actually booked Premium Economy (just for me) as I have back problems and I was offered a good deal to upgrade to Business... even better for my back!

It was much cheaper than the Business price when I originally booked

We did on a night flight.

My family are really tall, it made the journey much better and we felt less exhausted when we got home.

You pay your money and make your choice!?!?

I paid extra to fly to New York - it was main cabin extra on American Airlines and well worth the money IMO.

We didn't bother on the BA return flight, and frankly it was torture. DH couldn't move.

8 hours is a very long time to be uncomfortable.

I’m size 20 so upgrade to a more roomy seat on Virgin flights. Haven’t flown with BA premium. I’d be interested to know if they are decent in premium economy.

I like to lounge over my partner but you can't with Premium.

Is your partner mysteriously enthusiastic about premium economy
