What year is this from? Premium Economy is not close to 2x-3x cost of Economy seating in my experience.

I fly Premium Economy across the Pacific every time and its like an extra $300 or something (and worth it). I only fly on Asian airlines, mainly Starlux or EVA but sometimes a Japanese airline.

Slightly more leg room

Tons of leg room, wider seats, solid arm rests between seats so you won’t touch the other person, softer seats (I think), bigger screen. It’s a huge improvement for only a slight increase in price, nothing like Business Class.

Here is the Premium Economy on Starlux, which is the best I’ve been on:
