Is it worth paying the extra for PE on Delta? Does the PE cabin on Delta have a dedicated lavatory?
Before I get yelled at I am ONLY comparing other airlines to what DL CURRENTLY offers. Not what they "might" offer on a new plane which in all honesty can be switched at any time (plane swaps etc.). The airlines I am referring to have PE across their entire if not almost their entire fleet so the chances of missing out on the product are substantially less.
Ok, now that the disclaimer is out of the way.....
Eva to HKG (with a stop in TPE) has a fantastic PE product. Seat similar to US DL FC seats, friendly service, upgraded meals etc plus premium boarding/luggage. I have flown it and can attest it was a comfortable hard & soft product.
I flew Virgin ATLANTIC PE as well and was very impressed with them as well. Very similar to the above on all the offering with Eva but I think Eva was just slightly better in the service, and the hard product (especially the seat).
Of course there is always Cathay Pacific to HKG which I have never had a bad flight on even allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way in the back of the plane.
