WORLD'S BEST PREMIUM ECONOMY SEATS - Comparison (2023)

2024 brings new airplanes, seats and airport improvements to passengers
Passengers will fly in 2024 with airlines that are putting their post-lockdown plans into place. And that includes shiny new airplanes containing new seat designs arriving at a rapid pace.
A scattering of new airports and terminals will change the game in a few key regions, although some routes and airplanes will be delayed into 2025 or further because of supply chain difficulties.
Let's start with those new airports and terminals before taking a look at the airplane deliveries and new seats.
A big new terminal and a major airport upgrade
Abu Dhabi International Airport, home to Etihad Airways, fully opened its Terminal A in late 2023 after much delay. This enormous facility is a huge improvement and will allow Etihad to offer much improved connections, a much more pleasant space for passengers and new lounges as the carrier expands into 2024.
Meanwhile, at Los Angeles' LAX, the biggest news is outside the terminals - sort of. The Automated People Mover train system at the airport has taken five years to complete with six stations, connecting the terminals with the new rental car facility, ride-hailing zones, parking lots and the new Metro Transit Center station for the local C and K Metro Rail lines.
It's a massive improvement and will hopefully go a long way toward reducing the airport's traffic snarls when it opens in 2024.
Across the world, expect to see a number of quality-of-life improvements to airports rolling out, such as more of the new bag scanners that mean you don't have to take liquids or electronics out in security lines and more integrated airline and airport apps that reduce queueing times and speed up boarding.
New small planes will make a big difference onboard
The big news is in little planes - well, not that little.
The Airbus A321XLR is the longest-range version of Airbus' A320neo family of single-aisle planes, with XLR standing for "extra long range" of 4,700 nautical miles or roughly nine to 10 hours of flying. After some delays, it's expected to start flying in late 2024.
You might be familiar with the A320neo from shorter flights of a few hours, but the XLR version can fly as far as a much bigger plane - and more economically for airlines. Its extra long range opens up a lot of routes known as "long and thin": the ones with too little passenger demand for a big plane, but too far for previous versions of the small planes to fly.
