We spent 15 hours flying American Airlines Premium Economy on a long-haul flight from Los Angeles to Sydney to see if the upgrade from economy is actually worth it. In this video, we break down the seat, legroom, recline, amenities, food, sleep experience, and overall comfort on an older American Airlines 777-300 — and compare it to regular economy on an ultra-long-haul route. We also show exactly how we booked these $5,000 Premium Economy seats for under $1,000 per person using Alaska Airlines miles — without needing a credit card. If you’re considering Premium Economy for a long flight or want to maximize miles and points, this is everything you need to know.
