air china premium economy 777 300 review

We used JT's Ritz-Carlton Rewards credit card (no longer available for sign-ups), since this purchase finished off his minimum spending requirement to get the sign-up bonus. At 10,102 miles, this JAL premium economy fare earned $2,020 EQDs when credited to American Airlines, since EQDs for partner tickets are calculated based on mileage. I'd almost requalified for American Airlines Executive Platinum elite status - I just needed more Elite Qualifying Dollars - and booking premium economy can be a great way to get EQDs. Even at the last minute, a one-way premium economy ticket from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to New York-JFK on Japan Airlines via Tokyo Narita was only 4,600 Malaysian ringgit (about $1,100). I wanted to remain flexible while traveling in Asia, so I booked my ticket just five days before departure. I'd flown Japan Airlines before in business class and economy, but here's my take on JAL's 777-300ER premium economy product between Tokyo (NRT) and New York-JFK. The race wasn't exactly fair, as JT took the world's longest flight, from Singapore to Newark, on Singapore Airlines, while I took a two-stop, multiple-ticket route via Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo.īut I daresay my route, including Japan Airlines premium economy on two flights, the Malaysia Airlines first-class Golden Lounge and the JAL first-class lounge, was the superior experience.

My husband, TPG writer JT Genter, and I recently decided to race each other from Singapore to New York. Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available.
