1. What benefits do travelers receive when purchasing Premium Economy? Customers traveling in Premium Economy will enjoy wider seats – including expandable foot, leg and headrests, Priority boarding, an enhanced meal, complimentary drinks, noise-reducing headphones, an amenity kit and more.
Premium economy fare is generally 65% less expensive than a business class fare.

A typical premium economy fare includes around 5-7 inches of extra legroom, wider seats, and more space to recline.
Vietnam Airlines Premium Economy is a good product and worth paying the extra if you can afford it. Highlights include the same excellent seats that Norwegian uses and slippers. Lowlights are the food and drink, which are OK but nothing special although the quantity is generous.
Are Vietnam Airlines any good?
Vietnam Airlines is Certified as a 4-Star Airline for the quality of its airport and onboard product and staff service. Product rating includes seats, amenities, food & beverages, IFE, cleanliness etc, and service rating is for both cabin staff and ground staff.
It’s definitely worth adding premium economy to your flight deal alerts this year as more airlines add the cabin onto new routes. There have been some shockingly low fares at prices quite near budget economy recently and when it’s like that, it’s time to pounce! It’s almost always worth it if the cost is just marginal.
Even though you won’t be reclining in a flat bed in any premium-economy cabin, a combination of larger seat dimensions, wider armrests, adjustable leg rests and extra features, like upgraded bedding and noise-canceling headphones, almost guarantee you’ll feel more rested upon arrival.
Premium economy fares are about 15 to 20 percent more expensive than basic economy, but they also offer extra legroom, free drinks — and the perks don’t stop there.
Typically, premium economy will provide about 5-7 extra inches of legroom, plus 1-2 extra inches of seat width and 2-3 extra inches of recline. On a 12+ hour flight, every inch counts, and you’re likely to have more room than you would on a short regional flight.
Is Priority boarding worth it?
One of these benefits is often priority (or preferred) boarding. It exists so you can board the plane before most passengers, and you’ll have plenty of time to find bin space for your carry-on and settle into your seat before the frenzied reprobates stampede aboard. This is a great benefit! Most of the time.
