Hi all.

I'm currently pondering booking a trans-atlantic flight and need some sage advice on whether or not to go with upgraded accomodation. For example, British Airways is around $ 500 (256 GBP or 382 EUR) in Economy for a round trip ticket. It's double that for their "premier" economy service which gives you 7 inches more legroom and the seat reclines further. (Please tell me that in regular economy there is more room than on a normal domestic flight in the US or Canada.)

(Also, if one has to change planes do you recommend London (Heathrow, ugh) or Amsterdam?)

So, do I pony up and extra $ 500 for more comfort or will economy do?
