Premium seats? What premium seats. I didn't know CO had premium seats in coach.

Oh, surely you don't mean that block of seats that is highlighted blue on the seat map and reserved for elites?

What's premium about them?

Same knee-crushing 31" seat pitch as the rest of E-.

Same "meals at mealtime" service as the rest of CO E- (translation: you will receive as little as a bag of peanuts and a plastic cup 90% filled with ice [not the whole can] all the way to a proper full meal which is usually a turkey wrap or some other horror).

Same IFE as the rest of CO coach, now usually unwatchable on their flip-down screens featuring some of the most "vintage" programming to be found anywhere in the skies, soon to be replaced by jetBlue's LiveTV, but for six bucks a pop...

Am I missing something?

So where's the premium?
