While American Airlines has had
an extra-legroom economy option since launching «Main Cabin Extra» in 2012, it wasn't until just this month that the airline finally unveiled a true premium economy seat in its fleet.
Although it is reconfiguring its wide - bodies with premium
economy seating, American is planning to keep offering a Main Cabin Extra
option as well — i.e., its
extra-legroom seating in the
economy cabin.
