There is some good news for passengers who have flown economy class to the US and Europe and wished for a better travel experience on long-haul flights. If you are flying with Air India to San Francisco or New York, you can book a seat on an Air India Premium Economy Class flight beginning May 15.

Air India Premium Economy Class Features

On three routes, including BLR-SFO, BOM-SFO, and BOM-JFK, the airline has added a fourth cabin class. Also, the airline intends to quickly expand this facility to more routes as it updates and expands its fleet. With this, Air India has established itself as the country’s first and only airline to give customers a choice of four cabin classes. With more space, comfort, and convenience for a reasonable price over Economy Class fares, Premium Economy offers a unique traveling experience.

So, what exactly do premium economy passengers receive?

Customers receive a TUMI amenity kit that includes a pair of flight socks, an eye mask; MALIN+GOETZ lip moisturizer, a pen, and carpet slippers.

According to Air India, customers who choose the premium economy will also get noise-canceling headphones. Additionally, clients will receive a welcome drink and have a choice of three main course meals, an appetizer, a dessert, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said that the addition of a premium economy cabin is another step in the airline’s ongoing effort to become a cutting-edge international carrier with top-notch goods and standards of service.

According to him, as more people choose to fly in upgraded yet still reasonably priced cabins, “Premium Economy has become more popular among travelers around the world.” India’s air traffic to the Gulf, Europe, and USA is increasing at an alarming rate. Up until now, foreign carriers have dominated the nation’s international traffic. For example, in Q4 of 2022, India’s international traffic stood at 1.45 crore, with foreign airlines carrying 82 lakh passengers and domestic carriers carrying 63 lakh.

The growing international travel market presents a significant opportunity for Indian airlines, and enhancing the traveler experience is crucial for attracting new customers. Contact FlyDealFare for more details on Air India Premium Economy Class and cost-effective flight bookings.
