What’s crackin’?
Today’s newsletter is focused on premium economy. One step below full-fledged business class, but one step above economy, you get a little more legroom and some premium benefits in this fare class!
You’ll pay a little more than you would for an economy ticket, but don’t scoff at premium economy. Some have more legroom than a domestic first-class flight. Some include your choice of meal and drinks.
And — in some cases — you’ll find that a premium economy ticket can be less expensive than a regular economy fare.
Without further adieu, let’s get it!

This is my favorite deal for today. Premium economy from Atlanta to Marrakech, Morocco, for just $1,220 round-trip on Air France for dates through January 2023. The long-haul flights between ATL and Paris are on the Airbus A350-900. Premium economy on this jet has its own separate cabin from economy and extra-reclining seats in a 2-4-2 layout. You can see what the seat looks like using this Matterport link.
Premium economy passengers get two checked bags, two hand bags, and one personal item. You’ll also get SkyPriority benefits and the ability to pick your seat before check-in.
I couldn’t recreate the deal using Google Flights, but you can plug in your dates directly on Air France’s website, and you should be able to book there.

Premium economy passengers can have their choice of meals on this ultra-long-haul flight through a dining option Singapore Airlines has called “Book the Cook.” Passengers can select from three meal choices on board — including dishes like braised beef stew and chicken and rice — with a selection of wine.
This deal also works from Newark and other SE Asia cities like Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Manila.
You can add on a long layover in Singapore if you want.
