 | | Taiwan-based Eva Air, with its Evergreen Deluxe Class (renamed Elite Class on flights with Boeing 777s) was the first carrier to provide passengers paying the full economy fare with a separate cabin where there is more legroom, in 1991, when the airline first started flying. |
 | | Eva Air was followed by Virgin Atlantic with its Premium Economy Class, British Airways with World Traveller Plus and United Airlines with Economy Plus, which typically offers 5 to 7 inches more leg room than regular economy class for about one third the price of a business class seat. |
 | | British Airways's round-trip fares between New York's JFK airport and London range from $482 to $1,665 in World Traveller (economy) and $669 to $2,180 in World Traveller Plus, to a whopping $3,215 to $9,198 in Club World (business class). |
