Premium Economy Class

Premium Economy Class is an intermediate class between Business Class and Economy Class. Airlines decide whether to add Premium Economy Class on each flight.

Economy Class

Economy Class is the most common type of airline ticket and is available on most commercial flights. This is the most common type of seat on each flight.

Each different seat class will correspond to a different quality of service, which is proportional to the airfare of each type of seat. And even within the same seat class/service class, there can be differences in quality, accompanied by different conditions and prices.
