I flew PH-BKC today in PE. Boarding is with group 2, so, with half the aircraft since many people have at least silver status which gives you the same boarding group.

Seat is definitely wider/bigger than regular economy. Almost comparable to a First seat on a US domestic flight. It wasn’t too kind on my back but that may have been an issue on my side. Amenity kit is very basic - dental set and an eye mask. The food is much better compared to economy though. Both in quality and quantity, and also the fact that drinks are served in proper glassware, and come with real metal cutlery.






oh and 11A has the wonky tray table problem. This A/C was retrofitted with PE less than two weeks ago! And 11A already has its table destroyed to the point that with the slightest turbulence glasses will just slide off.
Looks great, it seems like a very good product overall when it comes to PE.

Slight observation on SkyPriority: Silver status only grants boarding group 3 and doesn’t have SP. Usually 10-25% of passengers have SP on average, but of course some routes are elite heavy and many people are in group 2 (which is now also bigger because of everyone who flies PE regardless of status which it’s 7-10% of all passengers instantly).
