It's tempting to buy your way out of cattle class with a premium economy fare. The upgrade should mean more leg room, better food and hopefully a glass of bubbles on arrival.
But which airline gives you the best premium economy experience? We surveyed more than 7,500 Which? members about their recent experiences. Of those, 695 had flown premium economy in the past year.
They rated the customer service, food and drink, and value for money on Singapore Airlines, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Tui Airways and Thomas Cook Airlines.
