Australia, New Zealand & the South Pacific - V Australia: Economy and Premium Economy

Hi folks. We have reserved seats in Economy on V Australia airline, but are thinking about upgrading to Premium Economy. Does anyone here know if there is much difference in seat dimensions between the two classes? Do seats in Premium Economy recline further than those in Economy? What else? Thank you.

I'm curious also - and if anyone knows if this airline sells last minute gate upgrades into Business class or if there is anyway to use Amex Membership Reward points to upgrade?

It looks like a really nice airline and is the least expensive.

Have you checked SeatGuru.com and/or the airline's own website?

Have you looked at the Amex MR page for info on redemption options, and/or the airline's own website?

I’ve flown both, and Premium Economy is far superior. Depending on the day, Premium is not that much more then Economy, think I spent $250 more return. Been quite happy with the service and the IFE I rate as one of the best in the skys.
