It works well if those travelers who prioritize lower cost over ease of travel, or those who don\u2019t mind sitting snugly for 14\u201317 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Premium economy <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offers the best of both worlds\u2014more comfort than economy but without the hefty price tag of business class.
