Business has 24 sleeper seats with 50 inch seat pitch, individual IFE screens. Champagne, full bar, 5 course dinner service and then afternoon tea ( hot breakfast night flights). This is as per the GLA - SFB route although when CPT starts the service may and probably will be different due to flight duration and timings.

Premium economy seats 60 pax in seperate cabin, 34 inch seat pitch with footrest. full comp bar service and hot dinner then afternoon tea/ breakfast, comp headsets with IFE on large projector screen.

At present seating in both cabins is material but should be refurbished with the new leather interiors.

Premium economy seats 160 pax in seperate cabin, 34 inch seat pitch with footrest.
I have not used this carrier but I admire their marketing as staing that PE = 34" pitch. If this is actually standard Y, then it is better than BA/SA/Vs on the UK~ZA route, ranging 31"~35" on Seat Guru. But WTP and PE(VS) are 38", so I think that this is stretching things or ... compressing things.

My mistake, premium economy accommodates 60 pax and economy 160.

In which case, 34" pitch for Y = Very Good.

Not had a single complaint from any pax regarding seat comfort in economy. The cabin is much more spacious than a charter 767 with 2/3/2 abreast.

The business class cabin and service is very nice im sure you will enjoy.

For that matter, 34" for premium economy is also BAD.

Sounds like the Y pax don't travel standard scheduled airlines much then?
