Premium economy
Am flying FRA-DEL on 19/4 and Premium seating is available on the flight. Officially lufthansa starts operating premium economy on this sector from 24/4. Any idea if only the seating will be premium economy or also the food/ service etc ? Hoping it is a dry run to test the offering

So that is why when I booked FRA-JNB (no PE available yet) in S, during seat selection I was permitted to choose 53H. Later during the flight, the FA came to welcome me and ask how I liked it. The seats seem identical to those on 748 to HKG but the flight to JNB was really unconfortable

The food was economy food but in real porcelain dishes. A welcome orange juice in plastic glass (quite lousy container similar what SAA gives in economy) was offered
The seats length wise are certainly better than normal economy but sidewise nothing to write home about... better hoping for a free seat next to you in economy

I was booked in Y but was allocated a seat in PE section of the plane.
In my honest opinion the only advantage of PE is extra leg space. Rest everything is similar to economy. I would not pay more than 10% premium over economy for PE.

Had a similar experience on DEL-FRA yesterday.

I am convinced that these cms in width are at least as valuable as the increased pitch. ^
I would rate the product with approx. 40-60 % surcharge on the Economy fare.

2 premier economy questions
Want to fly over LAX-MUC on the A380 economy (because I knock myself out with sleeping pills and sleep the whole trip) but return premier economy. I see no way to do this on the LH website? Any ideas? Will LH charge me if I make such a reservation by telephone with them?
By the way is the LH economy plus product as bad as the AF one? I found it impossible to sleep in the AF economy plus seat.
