Booking a Premium Seat - Worth it or Not? Free Booze, More Legroom, Same Airplane

Ja, I've heard it all. Does a premium seat equal a premium flight? I don't think so, while booze may pass the time and more legroom is, well, negligible, you're still on the same airplane with everyone else, that never changes. However, some of you may find that this is worth an extra spend. More here via Travelrants.com and the inner workings of each premium economy offering via SeatGuru.com.

One question I get asked a lot is what are the advantages of booking a premium economy seat and my reply is that it depends on which airline you are flying with. All of the airlines offering premium economy give you extra leg room, and more reclining space but some offer a number of extra benefits.

Advantages of booking a premium economy seat

Virgin give you a pre-flight drink, dedicated boarding and luggage reclaim, compare this with BMI who offer free alcoholic and soft drinks plus advance seat selection at time of booking. Personally, I don’t think that the extra cost is worth the money, but that’s my personal opinion.
