I will be the first to admit, when it comes to spending money on airline tickets, I tend to find the cheapest fare possible rather than the most comfortable way to get there.  On the other hand, Mr. Suburbia likes to arrive at the destination well-rested and ready for business.  So when he travels for the business trips he flies Business class and when we go on holidays, we fly Coach. I try to reason with him saying that I would rather have that money to spend on other experiences when traveling like a nice meal or a pretty souvenir.  At six feet tall and much bigger built than my petite frame, he could use the extra space and comfort that the premium classes provide but I’m always hesitant to fork up the $$$ for it for a family trip. That was till American Airlines introduced their Premium Economy seats.  Just a few hundred dollars more than the economy seats, they are a game-changer! The primary and most obvious benefit of purchasing a premium economy seat is increased legroom and sometimes a bit wider seats, but the service and the meals are so much better too. They don\u2019t offer premium economy passengers the same level of airport service as a business- or first-class passengers, but there are many perks and we love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
