British Airways Premium Economy (World Traveller Plus) offers good value for money on shorter long-haul routes, with comfortable seats, solid catering, and complimentary drinks. The entertainment system is outdated, which slightly dampens the overall impression. If you want to avoid Business Class prices, this is a solid choice.
The British Airways Premium Economy amenity kit impresses with a high-quality, reusable pouch in BA's signature colors. The contents — lip balm, sleep mask, socks, earplugs, toothbrush, and pen — are generous for the cabin class and match the quality level of Lufthansa Group's Business Class offerings.
The SWISS Premium Economy amenity kit impresses mainly with its sustainable approach — the container made from recycled newspaper is a unique idea so far. However, the contents with sleep mask, toothbrush, and earplugs are quite modest and don't offer any particular wow factor.
The new SWISS Premium Economy offers a noticeable upgrade over Economy with its hard-shell seat, 15.6-inch screen, noise-cancelling headphones, and 2×23 kg baggage allowance. Not Business Class, but a more comfortable travel option – provided the price is right.
Lufthansa opts for an amenity kit in the shape of a denim pouch in Premium Economy – an original approach with reuse potential. The contents are solid and cover the essentials. However, you should take the warning about the denim fabric seriously, as it can potentially have unwanted consequences.
