American Airlines premium economy sounds like the perfect middle ground between a cramped economy cabin and a pricey business class experience. But is it actually worth it on a 13-hour ultra-long-haul flight? We flew it from Philadelphia to Doha to find out.
If you’re flying with Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and want to upgrade to business class without paying full price, bidding for an upgrade can be a surprisingly effective strategy. We’ve done this ourselves multiple times on long-haul flights and learned all about how the process works, what increases your chances, and when it’s easy to overpay. Our best score was $355 per person between Washington DC…
When we tell people we fly to Europe in Premium Economy for under $1,200 round trip, they don’t believe us. This French low-cost carrier is our favorite, even though most people have never heard of it. We’ll walk you through the full experience in French Bee Premium Economy – including the seats, food, service, and price – so you can decide if it’s worth it for your next trip.
No two experiences are ever the same. Our day flight on SAS business class was totally different from our night journey, so we wanted to do a second review. We recently discussed our first SAS business class experience on an overnight flight from Washington, D.C. to Copenhagen. While we appreciated some aspects, we left underwhelmed and felt premium economy would be fine for the return…
Turkish Airlines business class is known for great food, lounge access, and long-haul comfort, but the seat experience varies a lot by aircraft. We flew four long-haul Turkish Airlines business class flights from Washington, DC to Southeast Asia to see how the seat, service, and onboard experience stack up – and whether the product is really worth the price.
Lately I have been a little spoiled when it comes to flying. Thanks to travel credit cards and elite status, I have enjoyed perks like complimentary extra-legroom seats, priority boarding, and even the occasional upgrade. But I am also cheap, and paying for all the extras can add up to hundreds of dollars. So, sometimes I have to strip things back and go full basic…
When you book a business class ticket, you expect a premium experience that feels consistently better than economy or premium economy. Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) offers an upgrade bidding process that sometimes makes business class super affordable. But does it deliver enough to justify the extra cost? We recently flew SAS business class on the Airbus A350 from Washington Dulles (IAD) to Copenhagen (CPH). We’ll tell…
Want to save $500 to $1,000 on a premium economy flight to Europe without using points, miles, or deal alerts? These three budget-friendly strategies can help you find lower-priced premium economy fares on routes where the best options are often hiding in plain sight.
Being from Philadelphia, we sometimes call Ryanair the SEPTA bus in the sky. If you’re unfamiliar with SEPTA, you can pretty much replace that with any major city’s public bus system. It’ll get you from Point A to Point B, but it’s definitely not luxurious. Many times, however, Ryanair is the cheapest option and definitely worth it for a quick 1-3 hour nonstop hop in…
We once swore we’d never fly basic economy again, but we’ve since changed our minds. Here’s what we learned over the past few years of flying on budget deals.
