Open Skies: In flight Prem +

What you are paying for in Prem + is for comfort and leg room. The biggest difference between the Economy and Prem + cabins is the sheer volume of space alloted to each passenger. Seats in Prem + are much more pleasant at 20" wide with a 140 degree recline and a 52" seat pitch, resulting in four seats per row instead of six.

A generous armrest containing two brackets for your IFE system is between each pair of seats while a tray table and controls for recline, lumbar, leg rest and footrest extension are on the other side.

Another significant perk between Economy and Prem+ is the power port available between all Prem + seats. On an eight hour flight with a two hour battery, this can make the entire difference between getting a little and a lot of work done. It's worth noting that this feature isn't unique to Open Skies though; plenty of carriers offer in-seat power in their cabins (even coach) – it's just that power only goes to the back of Prem + on this airline.
