American Airlines is offering premium economy from $994 roundtrip between San Francisco and Hong Kong. That’s an amazing fare for not coach. It’s also broadly available.
Key details:
- Travel permitted Monday – Thursday in each direction
- Outbound travel must occur between August 15 and December 9, or between January 1 and May 23.
- 12 hour minimum stay, so it’s mileage runnable if you’re looking for status miles.
- Tickets must be issued by June 29 — but I don’t expect the fare to be around that long.
- $250 change fee
American’s premium economy is like domestic first class but with foot support, most seats have a foot bar beneath the seat in front of them (a feature Singapore Airlines offers in economy, by the way) while bulkhead seats have foot rests.

This fare has been available for months. It is a LAX-HKG or LAX/PEK fare that SFO leg is just added.
