If the DL 'PE' is only more legroom then it ain't the kind of PE that is worth having. VS and SQ have recliner seats that give a lot more than ordinary seats with increased pitch. So, if VS is go against BA to SEA, the VS product us better as BA only have ordinary seats in PE.

Having travelled VS in Economy, Premium Economy and Upper I must say I prefer PE by far.
Upper was good for a long flight, but not perfect in comparison to other Airlines First Cabins.
Premium Economy has a bigger, wider seat, good recline, more space on the armrests and generally a more spacious feel. The meal and general service is better and I think bigger TV screens.
Economy is sufficient if you don't want to upgrade. Have sat in exit rows in economy before, which was great legroom, but no extra width so not as comfortable.

There must have been a catering issue on your last two flights in PE, I am crew for BA you do get served first and yes trays are exactly the same as WT so they are all loaded together in same trolley BUT the hot meal part of your meal is a choice of two CW entrees which is in the china dish bigger and quite different to the WT hot entree in a foil packet
Well, there must have been a "catering issue" on both outward and return flights of my BA WT Plus journey in that case......
We did indeed get Club meals on the outward leg, except one of the two options ran out by the third row ("you can have an economy class meal if you prefer...."). And coming back, breakfast was a stale croissant and carton of orange juice for the whole Premium Economy cabin; I don't believe for one moment that this was a club meal..... And BTW,there are no toilets in WT Plus on 777s; you're queuing up with WT......
Oddly enough, my allegiance has changed to VS.

Your main meal will always be a choice of the two club world entrees, first choice is never a given unfortunately, often crew may phone Club and see what they have left as they may have your original choice in PE leftover in Club. Second meal is always the same as economy. And the cabin crew preload the main meals onto the tray in the galley, they also have a set of economy meals on top of the trolley as after you are served they continue serving the economy passengers. Just makes the service quicker so you can rest for longer. You can always pre pay with the enhanced meals or pre order your choice so it's available before your flight now.
