Air India, a Tata Group airline, has expanded its Premium Economy class, offering passengers a more comfortable travel experience at an affordable price.
With premium seat sales doubling over the past three years, the airline is meeting this growing demand.
Now, passengers can upgrade to Premium Economy by paying just ₹599 more than the standard economy fare. However, prices may vary based on routes and demand.

3) More comfortable seating – 32-inch seat pitch and 4-inch recline
