Is alcohol included in premium economy?

Do they serve alcohol in Vietnam Airlines?

Vietnam Airlines flights: Alcohol served. Yes.

• Cocktails.
• Wine.
• Beer.
• Soft drinks. The usual fare.

Availability varies. Flight length matters. Don't expect top-shelf. Expect mediocrity. It's a flight, not a five-star bar. My last flight, 2023, had decent wine. A cheap Cabernet Sauvignon, I recall. The beer was… acceptable. Think industrial-strength lager.

Alcohol policy subject to change. Regulations shift. Check their website. Don't whine if they're out of your preferred poison. Life's too short.

Important Note: Always check current airline policy before travel. Rules change. My experience is anecdotal. Don’t rely solely on this. Your mileage may vary. Seriously.

What does premium economy include?

Premium economy? Think of it as the airline's version of a "Goldilocks" zone. Not quite first class – no caviar service, sadly, no butler to fluff your pillows – but a darn sight better than the cattle car, er, economy. You get:

• More legroom: Enough to stretch out like a lazy cat, unlike economy, where you’re practically doing the limbo.
• Wider seats: Forget squeezing past your neighbors like sardines.
• Better food: Think slightly fancier airplane food, less like something scraped from the bottom of a shoe.
• Priority boarding: You’re not last in line to board, like some kind of peasant. Skip the scrum!
• Extra baggage allowance: Because one suitcase just isn't enough for my designer shoes and four pairs of sunglasses.

It's basically economy but with less misery and a bit more space. I flew premium economy last month to Miami. My flight was on United, seat 24B – a pretty decent spot. Honestly, I practically floated there. It was a definite upgrade from my previous economy flights. My back thanked me profusely. The extra inch of legroom made all the difference. Seriously, the difference was night and day—like comparing a cramped closet to a spacious walk-in. I still had to fight for the armrest, but the fight was more dignified, if you know what I mean.

Is it worth flying Premium Economy?

Okay, so 2023, I flew Premium Economy from London Heathrow to Bangkok on Thai Airways. Man, was it worth it? Partially.

The legroom? Amazing. I'm 6'2", usually crammed like a sardine, but this? I could actually stretch my legs. Seriously. The seat itself was wider, felt less claustrophobic.

But here's the thing. The recline? Yeah, a little more. Not game-changing. I still couldn't sleep properly. My neck was killing me.

The food? Better than economy, sure, but not a Michelin star experience. Think slightly nicer airplane food. You know.

So, did the comfort justify the extra cost? Honestly? For that long flight, it helped. But it wasn’t a total life-changer.

• Pros:

  • Significantly more legroom.
  • Wider seat.
  • Better food.
  • Less cramped feeling.

• Cons:

  • Recline wasn't a huge improvement for sleeping.
  • Still expensive. Not cheap.
  • Neck pain regardless.

Next time? I'd consider Business Class for that distance. It's a lot more, but maybe worth it for proper sleep. Premium Economy is an upgrade from Economy, but not a luxury experience.

Which airlines are dry flights?

Okay, dry flights! It reminds me of that time...

It was like summer 2023. I was flying Saudia back home. Landing in Riyadh. Man, I wanted a beer. Just one! The whole flight? Dry. Bone dry.

No alcohol at all. I remember asking the flight attendant. She just gave me that look.

Other airlines I know that don't serve booze:

• Saudia (obviously, learned my lesson!)
• Royal Brunei Airlines
• Kuwait Airways
• Iran Air
• Mahan Air
• Pakistan International Airlines (PIA)
• Biman Bangladesh Airlines
• Afriqiyah Airways.

Seriously, though, I was so thirsty! I really needed a drink. I didn't even think about it before I booked.

Next time, I'm checking that first. Note to self!
