It's better than economy but not as good as business. But it is worth the extra cost or the savings of a downgrade from business class?

Let's find out together as I put Qantas Premium Economy Class to the full test.

This Qantas premium economy flight review sees me jumping on board QF3, the Qantas flight from Sydney to New York via Auckland. Sadly I'm only going as far as Auckland this time. But it's plenty of time to really check out the Qantas premium economy product and see if it lives up to the hype.

This review is the latest in my series of flight reviews on Qantas. Having recently flown them in first, business and economy class. This Qantas premium economy review is the missing link!
