The main features of premium economy seats are:

• Seats are roomy; usually a few inches wider than regular economy
• Seats can recline and have footrests
• Power sockets and USB ports

• Do not believe in “the best” days to book a flight, like Tuesdays. Recent research has shown there is no significant difference in what day you book a flight. Moreover, booking on weekends sometimes happens to be even more beneficial. Compare prices for different days and destinations at Kiwi.com.
• Book in advance (but not too early) and use price alerts to get the best options
• Let the airline choose a seat for you if it is not essential. A number of airlines charge extra fees if you want to pick a particular seat.
• Check further airports and taxi rates to your destination to save money. For example, a flight to a smaller airport on Long Island may cost much less than flying into New York City via bigger ones like Newark, JFK, or LaGuardia.
• Get the benefit of comparing prices for tickets online.

• Turkish Airlines (for example, salmon as a starter, chicken with rice and herbs as the main course, and cheesecake for dessert).

• AeroMexico (for example, rice or beans, salad, and bean stew)
• Air Canada (for example, cheese omelet and yogurt with pudding)

• All Nippon Airways (known for their “roomy” seats with a door that closes for privacy, as well as wide seats that turn into a lie-flat bed)
