Emirates recently debuted its latest A380 with luxurious premium economy seats. "The most important part of what a premium economy seat offers the passenger is a significant upgrade in terms of comfort when compared to economy. "Airlines tend to offer premium economy passengers access to more priority services such as free seat reservations, priority boarding and increased luggage allowance. "When we designed the first British Airways' World Traveller Plus seat in 2000, the basis for the seat customization was an aging business class platform. "There have been many new premium economy seats, some bespoke, others derivatives of existing platforms, but all still following the same principle."
