•Upgrade for $90 each way to Europe or $40 to the Caribbean
This seems to be the product you should go for. For $90 each way, you are getting almost the same pitch (legroom) and width as the Premium seats. While none are lie flat, the 5"recline is not as much as the 7" in the Premium seats. The service may not be the same (meals etc.), but this cabin is a cost-effective compromise between the full Premium and the cramped economy.
