British Airways' Longest Flight: Is Premium Economy worth it?

Editorial Summary

The creator reviews the British Airways World Traveller Plus premium economy class on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner during a long-haul flight from London to Santiago. The review covers the physical layout of the cabin, noting that the six rows of seating are located directly over the wing. The creator evaluates the seat comfort, highlighting the adjustable headrests, footrests, and the extra seven inches of seat pitch compared to economy. While the seat features well-placed USB sockets, the creator criticizes the lack of effective storage space and the slow response of the in-flight entertainment touchscreen. The amenity kit and bedding are described as comfortable, though the headphones are noted as not being noise cancelling. Food service is discussed, with praise for the use of real crockery and stainless steel cutlery, despite some criticisms regarding repetitive ingredients and wasteful packaging for breakfast. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the premium economy experience is worth the upgrade for a flight of this duration, provided the ticket price is reasonable, despite the significant drawback of minimal storage for personal items.
