Zoom Airline has premium economy seats on their JFK to London route. How do these seats compare to a business class seat?

Trying to work out just how much better the premium economy seat is over economy or if we should stick with taking Maxjet from JFK to Stansted.

Thank you.

My wife and I actually went from JFK to London in March and we were in the premium economy seats and they are amazing. They are much better than business class seats on Delta or United. They are much more spacious and they have many more amenities.

Always good to hear from someone who actually has used them. The price is very good and cheaper than Maxjet.

Did you or your wife manage to get any sleep? Food good bad or the usual stuff. Any other tips to share.

Thanks so much.

as posted by dude9465,

really?

let's compare oranges to oranges. Flying UA international and Zoom international. And it was you that brought up the comparison of Zoom Prem Econ and UA business class, not me.

more spacious?

Zoom Premium Econ = 36"seat pitch 18"width
UA Business Class = 55"seat pitch 20.5"width

Zoom Premium Econ = free drinks, 1 meal, snack
UA Business Class = free drinks, 2 meals, snacks

Amenities?

Zoom = ?
UA = access to departure lounges with free drinks and snacks.

The only comparison that Zoom may win on this one is the price but that's not what you were comparing.

Zoom's PE is like UA's E+. Same economy seat, just more legroom. Still no personal entertainment or better food.

There's no way that can compare to Maxjet.
