PE is what I was thinking.
- Top 50 corp customer meeting in December revealed they will not pay more for a lie flat product, but very interested in something between business first and economy.
- Smisek said looking at an Economy Plus type product internationally
- A new biz class product will roll out on the 787 and will go on the rest of the fleet
- CO would like to avoid a 3 class product though
I just returned from EWR-HKG. I got my upgrade about 3 hours before the 24 hour rule would have kicked in. I was thinking of canceling the trip just because of the fear of flying in economy. I don't care if you are Platinum or even if you paid full Y fare, on CO, in economy you are just a nuisance. A PE would be a welcome addition. What are they thinking with row 16-24 being premium? A few inches of leg room and some extra pitch in the seats would make me a lot happier.
