When planning a long-haul trip, economy class passengers often seek out airlines that offer added comfort and amenities to make the journey more pleasant. Several international carriers have invested in their economy cabins to provide features such as extra legroom, advanced entertainment systems, and enhanced meal options.
Singapore Airlines’ Airbus A380 is designed with ergonomically crafted backrests and six-way adjustable headrests for increased comfort on routes between Singapore and destinations like London, Sydney, and Los Angeles. Passengers benefit from additional storage spaces, in-seat connectivity including power outlets and USB ports, WiFi access, and a digital menu available up to eight days before departure. The KrisWorld entertainment system allows travelers to save playlists through the SingaporeAir mobile app by signing into their KrisFlyer account.
Hawaiian Airlines operates its Airbus A330-200 primarily on flights from Honolulu but also uses it seasonally between Seattle and Anchorage following its merger with Alaska Airlines. The Main Cabin seats 192 passengers in a 2-4-2 configuration with a pitch of 31 inches. An Extra Comfort section offers more legroom at the front of the cabin. All passengers receive complimentary meals, drinks, seatback entertainment via personal LCD screens, free carry-on baggage allowance, and can enjoy Hawaiian cultural touches such as aircraft named after celestial bodies.
