Which Airline has the Best and Worst Economy Class Seat?

which airline has the best economy seat so there's an impression that economy seats are more cramped than ever the seats back are thinner than they were before and more seats got squeezed in each row so I recently flown ITA Airways from Milan to London on their A320 oh my God the seats were Beyond a tight squeeze and it's also funny it raised a question uh whether you should recline to somebody on the short Regional 1 and 1 half hour flight like d here are 10 airlines that has some of the worst leg room they are Ry air Royal flight seu Pacific West air jet 2 smart links Airlines Spirits Airlines Adria Airways City Link and bus but I want to say not all economy seats are the same there are still some good economy seats but you need to do a lot of research SE Arch and found out where they are and here I'm going to show you so first the Japanese carriers are really standing out in the economy class you know what's special about J 787 J 787 is the only one Dreamliner in the world has two 4 and2 economy this is C Sky wider it is much wider than allst Streamliner in the world so apart from J Having Eight seats per row on the 787 all other 787 all Ator having one extra seat in each row they're having nine seats per row in a 333 configuration making it more tight on the Dreamliner and over time Airlines also found ways to squeeze one extra seat on the trip 7 so when the trip 7 first came out they have nine seats per row but over time when Airline now are re hauling refurbishing the seats in economy they found those finer seats leaner seats now they're squeezing one extra seats making a 3 43 that's 10 seats per row instead of 9 now I want to share with you a list of Airline still doing 333 they're still having nine seats per Row in their economy so you end up with a bit more width on the Long Haul flight that's going to pay off so these airlines are Air China on the trip 7300 ER Air India Asiana Airlines bman Bangladesh Airlines China Southern Ethiopian Airlines Egypt Air EVA Air on selected 7 300 ER guda in Indonesia Japan Airlines Korean Air Pakistan International Airline Pia Saudia on selected three Class 7 300 ER Singapore Airlines Thai Airways Turkish Airlines and a on their older 7 300 Ys so one Airline Air New Zealand has a pretty unique product in economy they actually have a lay Flats in economy option which you can purchase up to three CI to form a sky couch your own bed in economy class how cool is that so I'll show you how it works um so the first button you just press and it will lift up the leg rest halfway and then you just literally use it with your hand and pull up all the way and there you go so you have your completely flat having three sits at Sky couch bed in the economy is going to make other people very jealous but I guess you pay for what you get the sky couch pricing is somewhere between economy and premium economy so Air New Zealand is also rolling out very unconventional economy lay flat option in 2024 all economy lay flat seats let's give a try [Music] here you know from the outside looks quite difficult to get in but once you slide your body up inside you know the Privacy is very good you're inside a box here how to score one of these beds uh well the commercial proposition is you buy your economy seat or premium economy as well is it's offer um and then you would be offered on the website um The Proposition of buying a session in the sky nest and so you can select it at that time we're proposing four our sessions and that's through all of the research that we've done on the value of sleep over time and so 4 hours gives you two sleep cycles um and so on a cost per hour basis that is a really good uh outcome and that allows us for three separate sessions on the Long Haul flight and there it's going to be in the Bulet section of the economy cabin yeah it'll be in the cabin uh and on the 787 it will be at sort of the door three area so you've got immediately adjacent access way for the doors and Laboratories Etc if you need to get out um during during your session when will be the skyus available we will be installing it on the first two of our new aircraft that deliver in 2024 the outer airplane that can offer you more Lake room in economy class is the A380 the world's biggest passenger aircraft passenger love it because of the size of the aircraft and also because of the quietness of the aircraft uh one of the best a480 operator is Ana from Japan on their flying honu flying exclusively between Tokyo and Honolulu you can found a very roomy economy [Music] class I am the first passenger sitting on this seat here 40 ad this one has good liquor room here you know really really good liquor room and also it come with a foot rest I think the A380 is a winner because in terms of Passenger comfort and economy nothing can beat the A380 with the blue color vet here it feels like you're on the cloud on the way to Hawaii so at the rear section on the A380 and you found product called Ana couchi where you can lift up the liak rest on the seats and form a 2 m flat bat so as a passenger you have the option to purchase additional seats to lay flat in economy uhhuh press this button yes right now they half and then you lift oh yes now the whole Space turn flat it's actually this wide much wider a turnning into a proper bad special seat belts here there's no worries during the turbulance you get seat belts and ample amount of space very nice there's also one very special seat on the main deck of the A380 that give you amazing Lake room I've experienced that on the OT A380 flight so some of the A380 operator have the crew rest underneath the main deck and that extra space in front of these seats is actually for cabin crew to escape during emergency so there are quite a few Airline have the seats Asana has it in 48d Korean Air has it on 47d quantis has it has it in 71d Qatar Airways has it in 68d when you fly on these A380 Airlines make sure you pre-book on this seat there's a couple other a480 operator has economy on the upper deck of the a480 which the upper deck is actually narrower than the main de fusel Arch so they have eight seats per row and they have a more exclusive section with less passengers so the airline have the upper de economy class sitting on the a r are Asiana Airlines Qatar Airways British Airways Lanza and some of the two class emmer A380 as a frequent traveler I recommend to use surf shark VPN to bypass internet censorship to found cheaper travel and to secure your data so internet censorship is a huge pain when I

from the US has more leg room for all passengers in economy and that Airline is Jet Blue on their A320 and 321 and one Middle Eastern Airline offer way more Lake room than any other airline in the region and that used to be a best kept secret not many people knew it that is Kuwait Airways Kuwait's Airways operate 107 300 ER in their economy section they used to have more L room 36 in of Li room that is 5 in more than their competitors I think Kuwait trip 7 has the best Li room in economy class there's nothing greater and bigger than Li than on this airplane really but unfortunately on my last F flight with kuwa Airways they have now moved these very roomy economy classes into a new product called economy space in fact more and more airlines are doing it they're upselling their economy products you'll found these economy space or economy plus seat in the forward section and these are generally reserved for elite frequent flyers or you have to pay extra to gain access to these seats look at the space on this one here look at this yeah it's 6 more in oh let me try out before I go to my seat absolutely you know this is a good thing what number 43 43d yeah oh this is great see this is like you know 43d economy can be really so I know there are passengers used to like to move seats away from their standard economy seats to an exit row or to Extra Space economy plus seats after doors Clos and take off and more and more so now these passengers are likely to be turned back to their original seats because Airline now are trying to upsell these seats uh for Revenue only they don't want to give away for people without paying and also it's unfair for those who have paid the seats right so my advice is ask nicely if you can move and don't get disappointed if the answer is no and also don't get confused by these economy plus economy space with premium economy these economy plus economy space is the same economy seat just with a couple more in Li room so talk about premium economy now that is treated as a separate class it's a buffer between business class and economy class you got a couple more interest leg room you got a nice leg rest coming up nicer bigger screen ifv system and perhaps a nicer me as well but of course that's a separate class you have to pay more for it and to me I think one of the most impressive premium economy products is on emmer a80 emmer is actually an airline late to this game in premium economy and the only one in the Middle East offer it and but it has the advantage of having it on a480 with the white leather seats it looks very pleasant and also they have better append ammenities when I tried from Los Angeles to Dubai she's going to give us a demo now your seat you can find the buttons on your side both sides your reclines well as well as the for rest oh this comes up right yeah it comes up and it comes complete to this side you can find your life jacket God forbid nothing will happen oh it comes with a water bottle as well your headsets your blanket and your pillow your trade table you open this one you grab the hook you can choose to have it half yeah or full if you're having a drink or if you're having your meal you have your Co Bell in case you need us throughout the flight you have your lights breathing lights if you like to read or do some work throughout the flight your channel brows where you can go forward or backwards volume pause or if you're just don't want any lights best seat I think is 35d and 35g these are the center aisle seat so there's nothing in front of you so you can actually stretch your legs and also 33 34 35 also the pair seats on the left and right side are also very private because the stairways in the middle so you don't see the center seats so you share with less people around so I would say the good seats are in the front of this cabin and also if you want to film the engine view where I'm sitting here 40 kilo and 40 Alpha are the best seats for seeing the engine [Music] rolling busy busy time right now in the Galia basam is the boss today on the flight here so basam going to show us the difference between the meal in economy and premium economy and there is a difference there's one airline that is quite funny they used their former business class now sold as economy plus they knew that they couldn't compete with the rest with these old products that is Pia Pakistan International Airline this is the old business class I remember I was here in 2014 from London to karach uh now they actually selling this as executive economy which is a economy plus they knew they can't compete with other airlin business class so sell this as premium economy and there's an upgrade you can pay $ 150 Duram it's about $40 to sit [Music] here Che go [Music] first well I hope this information are useful for you to select a good flight and good seats for your next travel thanks for watching today
