Premium economy
Guys - given Qatar economy is so good from USA to Doha, do you feel premium economy offers any additional value? I’ll be flying using AA miles so it’s 40k coach vs 62.5 premium economy. If somebody can educate me about angle of seat and if it offers better sleep quality that’ll be great. any other benefits?
thx

The key to comfort is leg room. If you are status-free this means paying to select the appropriate seats, or paying considerably more for accommodation in a premium-economy cabin (which might carry with it further benefits).

If the choice is between AA premium economy or QR economy, I would 100% go with AA premium eco, I think it is the same seat as the domestic first seat. You get much more space and recline. I flew it once to HKG and was quite happy.
QR economy is not bad in the broad cross-section of economy products but if you don't get a bulkhead it is very cramped (same as all other economy cabins).

Yeah, as long as your flight is not something like the LAX-Doha flt-nearly 16 hrs. Seats are reclined back nearly into your lap, and makes for annoying your neighbors(or vice-versa) when getting up during those long hours. Thankfully I found a decent --- read empty flight to book my seats to resolve that issue. The short connection to an equally empty flight was ideal.
