Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of the premium economy experience on an American Airlines Boeing 777-300 flight from Los Angeles to London. The review begins with the boarding process at LAX, noting the use of biometric technology and a megaphone for announcements. Upon entering the cabin, the creator describes the seat configuration, noting that the 28 seats offer more legroom and width than standard economy. The assessment includes a look at the inflight entertainment system, seat amenities such as the pillow, blanket, and amenity kit, and the functionality of the power outlets. During the flight, the creator evaluates the meal service, which is served on standard economy carts but includes upgraded food options like lentil shepherd's pie and a breakfast of fruit, yogurt, and a croissant. The creator concludes by weighing the pros and cons, noting that while the experience is not luxurious and the aircraft is older, the extra space helped prevent exhaustion. Ultimately, the creator deems the six hundred dollar upgrade worthwhile for a long haul flight, especially for larger passengers or those seeking to avoid the discomfort of a middle seat.

Creator's Key Takeaways

it's definitely not a luxurious experience the fact that the meals are still on the same carts that come out with economy

for me I thought $600 was worthwhile I really wanted to get to London feeling refreshed maybe that's not the right word but at least not feeling exhausted

I don't know that I would say that I feel super rested and refreshed but I don't feel exhausted so for me that was definitely worthwhile

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check upgrade prices daily as they change about every day
Consider if you're in a middle seat in economy, upgrading could be worthwhile
Look at the price difference to business class when booking premium economy
