On Lufthansa, the "Economy Plus" experience is officially branded as Premium Economy, and it is a distinct cabin class rather than just a seat with extra legroom. The most significant difference is the seat itself: Premium Economy seats are up to 3 centimeters wider, offer about 10 centimeters more room on the sides, and provide roughly 50% more recline than standard economy. You also get a dedicated fold-out leg rest (in most rows) and a much larger individual entertainment screen. The service is also upgraded; upon boarding, you are served a non-alcoholic welcome drink, and your meals are served on fine china rather than plastic trays. Furthermore, Premium Economy passengers receive a small amenity kit with travel essentials like a sleep mask and toothbrush. From a practical standpoint, the biggest "hidden" benefit is the baggage allowance: you are permitted two checked bags (23kg each) for free, whereas standard Economy (Basic/Light) often includes only one or none. While you don't get lounge access for free, you can purchase it at a discounted rate, which is usually not an option for standard economy flyers.
