Award-winning Cathay Pacific has just introduced a new Premium Economy class, and to celebrate has launched fares from Singapore that save up to $2865 (47%) off the cost of these routes in other airlines' Premium Economy cabins.

Featuring wider seats with an 8-inch recline and foot rests, Cathay's Premium Economy provides extra comfort during long-haul flights at a price closer to Coach than Business Class. We found the best savings on the following routes from Singapore (connecting through Hong Kong):

• Perth, Australia ... $2226 (SGD 2776)
• Los Angeles, USA ... $3234 (SGD 4032)
• New York, USA ... $3677 (SGD 4584)
• Vancouver, Canada ... $3406 (SGD 4247)

Other key destinations include Sydney, London, Melbourne and Frankfurt.

In addition to a dedicated cabin with custom-designed seats, Cathay's Premium Economy class offers priority boarding and check-in, an increased baggage allowance, an onboard welcome glass of Champagne, and enhanced dining options.

This offer is valid for flights departing from now until December 2012. See website for each route's specific launch date.
