Just rode the next-gen Acela after seeing all the complaints here. Yeah, the recline barely does anything and they’re not as soft as the old ones but they’re fine. Still miles better than plane seats, and legroom’s great. If this is the tradeoff for newer trains, I’ll take it.

IAD → SEA today. Booked a few weeks back and tried to self-upgrade right away, every single Comfort+ seat was blocked. Stayed that way all the way to boarding. Now I’m on the plane and more than half of C+ is sitting empty after doors closed. Just wild. I get Delta is trying to...

Just got hit with a last-minute seat change my wife and I were in Comfort+, now we’re both in Main Cabin and not even sitting together. Flight’s tomorrow and it’s a 13-hour haul. Anyone know if there’s any chance Delta can fix this or get us back in Comfort+?

Delta’s site says Comfort+ comes with “dedicated overhead bin space,” and my ticket mentions it too. But I’ve seen people here say that’s not actually enforced. If that’s true, how does it work? You board early enough that bins should still be open, right? First has their own...

Just wanted to thank everyone who gave me advice before my flight. I did LIT > ATL > RIC in Delta Comfort this week. Bought the whole row, which worked out, though I think 2 seats might have been enough. Preboarding was smooth, got through the aisle sideways without trouble, and...

I’ve flown their premium economy long-haul, and it honestly feels close to business class lite, wide seats, 40-inch pitch, solid recline. Seeing this comfort level on short-hauls is kind of wild. Starting in October, you can even get it on the A380 to Amman and the A350 to...

I usually dread layovers, but during a 3-hour stop at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson, my daughter and I booked an hour in a Minute Suites nap room and it completely changed my airport experience. Thanks to Priority Pass, our first hour was free normally $65, and the space felt...

I’ve noticed more airlines adding premium economy on long and ultra-long-haul routes, and honestly, I think it’s hitting the sweet spot between cost and comfort. On trips where business class feels overpriced and economy feels cramped for 10+ hours, that extra legroom, wider...

Starting next month, Korean Air is rolling out a brand-new Premium Economy called Premium Class on retrofitted Boeing 777-300ERs. I’m genuinely excited with just 40 seats in a 2-4-2 layout, 130° recline, 15.6" 4K screens, and even Prestige Class-inspired meals on Armani/Casa...
