Cathay Pacific’s competitive Airbus A350 Business Class is found on a wide range of routes, including shorter intra-Asia hops. Is it still worth using your points for this better-than-Economy experience?

WestJet Premium is a very pleasant way to fly. Plus, you can even use Qantas Points for WestJet Economy and then upgrade with cash at very affordable rates.

If you’re already visiting New York or London, why not tag on a trip to that other city by putting your Velocity Points or Amex Membership Rewards points to good use?

Across the Tasman, Premium Economy is close to the experience offered in Business on some competing airlines. I hopped aboard the newest route to NZ to put China Airlines Premium Economy to the test.
