premium economy
Middle cabin class
Premium economy is a class of airline seating between economy and business class, offering modestly more legroom, wider seats, and better amenities than standard economy without the full luxury—or cost—of business class: We splurged on premium economy for the overseas flight.
The term sometimes applies to similar mid-tier upgrades in other travel contexts.
