My Lufthansa Premium Economy Review for Is It Worth It?
If you’ve flown with Lufthansa before, you know that they try to have “alles in Ordnung”, which I really like. Heck, before I started using Air France more, Lufthansa used to be my go-to airline.

Premium Economy – Är det värt pengarna?
Premium economy är en lönsam klass för flygbolagen
Världens första flygbolag att införa premium economy var Taiwanesiska EVA Air år med son Elite Class. En separat sektion mellan ekonomiklass och business class med något bredare stolar med mer lutning, extra benutrymme, samt bättre mat och dryck.
Idag finns klassen på en stor del av världens flygbolag och är mycket uppskattad bland både affärsresenärer vars resepolicy inte tillåter business class, samt fritidsresenärer som vill unna sig en bekvämare flygresa. Faktum är att premium economy är den lönsammaste klassen sett till intäkterna per kvadratmeter yta som tas upp ombord på flygplanet.
Incheckning och bagage
Som passagerare i premium economy erbjuds vanligtvis prioriterad incheckning. Beroende på flygbolag så erbjuds antingen en egen disk på flygplatsen eller så får premium economy-passagerare använda samma incheckningsdiskar som för business class-passagerare. Extra bagage är också en av fördelarna där du antingen får ta med en extra väska eller extra kilo om viktkonceptet tillämpas.
