At least 13 airports offer the cabin class, including US hubs such as Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), New York JFK (JFK), Honolulu (HNL), Los Angeles and San Francisco.
All Nippon Airways
All Nippon Airways offers premium economy class passengers many of same benefits as the airline’s luxurious business class. On international flights premium economy passengers have access to ANA lounges at major airports such as Haneda Airport and Narita Airport in Tokyo, Osaka Kansai and Honolulu. Additionally, they receive priority luggage handling.
ANA’s new premium economy seat, which is found on its Airbus A380s (including Boeing 787-10s) and Boeing 777-3ERs (including Boeing 777-300ERs), has a spacious 38-inch pitch. It also features a leg rest to support the calf as well as a 15.6-inch large personal monitor and a reading light that can be adjusted.
In 2026, the airline will install new Recaro premium economy seats on its new Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The new seats feature two additional inches (for a combined total of 40″) of seat pitch, additional inches (for an aggregate of nine”) of recline and USB-C charger ports.
Premium economy passengers can choose from a selection of drinks available in business class, including Champagne, white and red wine, Umeshu plum wines, and shochu. The airline’s popular Asian-Western cuisine will be served to passengers during mealtime. You can choose from a variety of cup-style noodles or petit fours, which are usually only served in business class.
Virgin Atlantic
Virgin Atlantic’s sleekly designed plane interiors, there’s a lot to celebrate—like the revamped Upper Class cabin on the airline’s Airbus A350 planes with The Loft lounge. Virgin’s Premium Economy cabin is also a highlight. It is available on its A330-220, A330-300, A350-1000, and Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Premium seats are spacious: they’re up 21 inches wide, four inches wider than economy. They also have a 7 to 8 inch recline and a 38-inch pitch. Each seat also comes with a footrest.
