As for the Airbus 380, I recall seeing some type of proposed seating configuration months ago . . . F, C, and Y.

If ever there were a long-haul aircraft that could (and should) support a Premium Economy class . . .

Why is Premium Economy the forgotten step-child? It is more than just an answer to an aircraft weight problem on long-haul North American nonstops. It is a viable product on intercontinental flights, if they would expand and promote it.

Open your eyes THAI !!!

Couldn't agree more with you - with the likes of QF, BA, BR, VS, even FI all doing Premium Y, plus a few others and even TG on Scandinavian services, they most certainly should include Premium Y - especially in light of recent global financial events. Better to get some higher yield for a Y-ish seat than give it all away. Plus, in a Y oversell situation, PE is a perfect cabin for op-ups.
