Creator's Key Takeaways

The seat is very comfortable, and I was able to be completely relaxed in the seat for the duration of the 7-hour flight.

There was a real lack of proactive service from the crew primarily, I think, due to the fact that there was no dedicated premium economy crew.

Of the three premium McGomery flights I've flown over the last few months, BA was the least impressive.

I personally be happy to pay a couple hundred more for this overall BAF for economy anytime.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use points for premium economy if it's a small upgrade over economy, but consider business class if you have the points.
