premium economy

Economy seats have shrunk by up to 5 inches since the 1990s. The average American now stands 5'9". The FAA has done nothing. Here is exactly how every major US airline compares on pitch and width and the only strategies that actually work until Washington catches up.

Delta Premium Select sits between economy and business class in price, comfort, and sleep quality. Whether it's worth the upgrade depends entirely on your route length.

Airlines are done selling big. They're selling escape from pain nonstop routes, private suites, fewer connections. But your miles are worth less every year. Choose networks, not seats. Hold points portfolios, not airline loyalty. The system beats the seat every time.
