Outside of the documented differences between the various levels of elite status, I was able to find, through the miracle of technology, a subtle, but important difference that isn’t well-documented.
Look at the following picture:
This screenshot was taken about 2 hours before flight departure and illustrates the available seating chart for those with a status of Premier Executive. Notice that every blue seat is available, including the exit seats.
The Premier status seating chart, 2 hours before check-in, looks exactly the same except for the fact all the blue seats have a big, fat ‘X’ in the middle of them – even the non-exit row seats.
That’s right – the Economy-plus seats were not available as a choice for an average-joe Premier, 2 hours before check-in, but for a Premier Exec – they were possible choices.
