The schlep from the West Coast over to Europe is a long one, so it makes sense that you don’t want to do it in economy. But with business class pricing through the roof, sometimes a better solution is springing for premium economy. With more recline and better legroom, premium economy provides a happy middle ground for those long haul flights.

Better yet, we’ve found nonstop premium economy routes for just $900 from the West Coast all the way to Europe.

Let’s take a look!

Fare Deal — Details

If there is a route you’re looking to book, you’ll want to act quickly. We don’t expect this pricing to last.

  • Class: Premium economy
  • Routes: San Francisco (SFO) and Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LGW) or Oslo (OSL)
  • Dates: September 2023 to March 2024
  • Rates: As low as $900 round-trip

These flights are operated by low-cost carrier Norse Atlantic, whose premium economy seats feature some of the best legroom and recline around.

The cheapest rates we found were from Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LGW).

Best Ways to Book

There are a couple of different ways to book this, including directly via the Norse Atlantic website or by choosing to go with a third party. Third parties are generally a little cheaper, but you’ll still want to use a card that maximizes your return on spend. Cards such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve® earn you 3x Ultimate Rewards per $1 spent on all travel and offer trip cancellation and interruption insurance to boot.

Otherwise, booking directly with the airline means you’ll want to opt for a card such as The Platinum Card® from American Express, which earns 5x Membership Rewards per $1 spent on all tickets booked directly with the airline or AmexTravel.com (up to $500,000 per year, then 1x points).
