On Boeing 747s, Pacific Premium Economy seats have a 38-40" seat pitch and a nine-inch seat recline, 50% more than Economy, plus a full leg rest and foot bar. There is access to in-seat power and re-styled on-board washrooms featuring Pacifica skincare products.

The cabin has proved very popular and in 2009 was extended on the Boeing 777 fleet from 18 seats to 36. On these aircraft, seat pitch has increased from 38 to 41 inches and a self-service bar has been introduced.

Premium Economy has now undergone a more radical redesign on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft that were due to be introduced into the fleet new from April 2011.

The cabin on these aircraft feature the new Spaceseats, which have a 1-2-1 layout that will appeal both to couple and solo travellers. Seats are fixed shell design so that no-one can invade your space and they have 10.6-inch TV screens. The design allows travellers to slot tables together to have a business meeting or to eat together. There are also bean bag-style footrests.

Premium Economy food has been completely revamped and includes a tapas sharing menu.
