Flying to Argentina for sizzling spit-roast barbecues, tango along the bohemian boulevards of Buenos Aires, and beach days with whale watching to boot? Once you're all buckled up and ready for take-off, turn that phone to airplane mode and prep for the trip in the best ways possible: a podcast, a movie, and a good, old-fashioned book. Here's what to read, watch and listen to if on your flight to Argentina.
Economy class is exactly what it sounds like: a standard airplane seat with very few frills. Basic economy has even fewer. A lot of times that’s OK; we’ll put up with it just to get where we’re going. But sometimes we travelers want something better—say, a little extra legroom and little more dignity. That’s where airlines’ premium offerings come in. In some cases, that’s called Premium Economy; other times, though, the cabin class is an additional step up from that—closer to the business end of the spectrum than the coach end. The perks of this upper-middle part of the plane vary from airline to airline—as does the price—so we asked our staff and reporters to weigh in on which airlines offer a version of Premium Economy that is worth the cost. In my own travels, I recently tried out KLM’s “Premium Comfort” class, which is yet another level up for fliers. Here’s what we all had to say.
