Premium Economy

A service class offering modest upgrades over standard seating, such as additional legroom, wider seats, or complimentary snacks, at a smaller price premium than first or business class. Some high-speed operators use this tier to capture demand from passengers willing to pay slightly more for comfort without the full first-class price.
