Premium Economy

More personal space to stretch out

Enjoy more legroom with the largest seat pitch in its class (41" on 777-200 aircraft and 38 to 40" on 747 aircraft) and relax with 50% more recline than Economy. And while you're there: put your feet up with the leg rest and foot bar, use the in-seat power if you need it (available in most seats) and sip from your complimentary water bottle in the storage net in front of you.

For seat-by-seat descriptions check out our 777-200 and 747 seat maps.
