The price of a premium class seat (so far) seems to be solely for the extra legroom and that tiny snack box. (Nevermind that the lack of seat padding makes for an uncomfortable ride, but that's a separate complaint not specific to "premium" class...)

Was this a bumpy ride? What was the route? AFAIK AS' standard on transcons/Hawaii flights is 3 passes for the beverage cart.

I think most folks are paying the $ for extended leg room.
