• London - Which airline seats make the most
  profit? Are they up front in first class, which
  can sell for up to 20 000 (R355 000) return? Or,
  economy at the back, crammed so tight you risk
  concussing the person behind you if you recline
  your seat? In fact, its neither.
• The most lucrative section of the plane didnt
  even exist until the early 90s premium economy.

• The concept is simple the passenger gets a
  little more legroom, a bigger baggage allowance
  and a glass of bubbly. But, its not cheap.
• If you want to fly from London to Los Angeles
  next month with Virgin Atlantic, the most
  expensive one-way premium economy ticket will
  cost 2 340 to 1 000 more than the cheapest
  economy option.

• An upper class seat would cost 7 000 one way.
  But, heres the secret airlines dont want you to
  know the premium extras dont cost them anything
  near 1 000. A business class seat uses three
  times as much space as an economy one, while a
  premium economy seat takes up only 50 percent
  more space.
• Virgin Atlantic introduced premium economy in
  1992. Now, its available on many airlines. You
  can see why. Daily Mail
