New Delhi: The humdrum comforts of the economy class in planes now have a
premium cushion - more legroom, better meals and bonus air miles.
Welcome to the world of premium economy class, where all airlines are pushing for an entry and win over flyers.
Singapore Airlines will roll out its premium economy service on the Singapore-Delhi route from October 25 and Singapore-Mumbai from January 2.
Vistara, the newly launched joint venture between the Tatas and Singapore Airlines, has already introduced this option for domestic flyers.
Lufthansa and Air China will offer the service on the Mumbai-Munich and Mumbai-Beijing routes, respectively, from October 25.
Premium economy falls between the economy and business classes. It offers wider seats, greater seat recline, more leg room, more luggage allowance, bigger entertainment screens and slightly more personalised services. This segment is priced 60 per cent below the business class and 40 per cent higher than economy.
