Airplane seat reviews by Bob S

Flight during Oct 2018 before they were grounded. This section of the plane was Premium Economy for this route. Am 6' and bulkhead seats have no foot rests and are only slightly wider than economy, they do not tilt back very much and comfort for a 6 hours 15 min flight was only passable as I found they had thin seat padding and a bar could be felt. The crew was terrific and the food was excellent. This side of plane seems to have slightly less room than on our return in 1 A and 1 C which had a bit more legroom. This PE section is small with one bathroom at the front, so there can be waiting as people from economy were also using it. PE is great for premium check-in and cases and very good food.

This Airbus had PE and Economy only between YUL and DUB, it was acquired from another airline with the older Business Class lie flat seats left in PE, that will be changed by Nov 2019 to the regular PE seats like Boeing 737 Max 8 has, the outbound flight was a great value and quite comfortable, inbound seat 2A had no working audio or TV as remote control was ripped out of the armrest, 2 C had dead seat controls. Note that Staff were attentive and food was excellent. Airbus has a quiet interior. New configuration in PE will be similar to Boeing 737 Max 8 and 787-8.
