On top of standard economy class seating, Alaska Airlines offers several classes of service on many of its aircraft, including first class and premium class. So what makes Alaska's premium class unique? Here’s what you need to know about flying Alaska Airlines premium class, whether or not you’re booking your travel with Alaska MileagePlan miles.

What to expect flying Alaska Airlines premium class

Wondering what sort of experience you can enjoy in Alaska’s premium class seats? You’ll get perks such as:

Legroom. Four inches of additional legroom than what you’d get in regular economy class seats.

Amenities. Free drinks, including alcohol on flights exceeding 350 miles.

Boarding perks. Premium class flyers get early boarding, plus first access to overhead bins.

Because premium class rows are located in the front of the plane, right behind first class, you will also be among the first to deplane once you arrive at your destination.

Don’t expect wider seats like in first class, though; rows are still three seats across in premium, just like in the main cabin, and they don’t offer any more elbow room than standard economy seats. Plus, the seats are still located in the main cabin; there’s no separation between premium seats and economy seats.
