About Premium Economy

What is Premium Economy?

Premium Economy flights bridge the gap between Economy cabins and Business Class comforts. Premium Economy passengers may either be seated in their own cabin, their own seating section, or in Economy cabins but with added benefits such as extra baggage, meals and more.

Benefits of Premium Economy

Premium passengers are privy to all the benefits of Economy Class as well as additional benefits and priority treatment. Seats are generally larger and can include greater recline, adjustable head or lumbar support, extra legroom and footrests. Often an upgraded economy meal is included, priority check-in, bonus frequent flyer points plus more.

Premium Economy class cabins also offer a higher standard of flight attendant care. Some flights also provide passengers with blankets, pillows, noise cancelling headphones and amenity kits to ensure the journey is as comfortable as possible. Meal ... Read more »

Travel Agents

Description

The Travel Agent can perform a couple of different tasks; adjusting cable pull or serving as a roller to work around tight frame geometries.

For cable pull changes, the Travel Agent makes a short cable pull lever work with a long cable pull caliper. This allows you to mix road, mountain and cross brakes and brake levers. Instead of buying new levers or brakes, just install a Travel Agent and you re good to go!

To use our Travel Agent as a friction reducing roller simply route the cable on the outer edge of the wheel and it is smooth sailing for your brakes around tight bends.

Compatability Notes

Common Short Pull Components. Drop bar levers, road calipers, traditional cantilever calipers, short arm "mini-v" lear pull calipers, center pull calipers and road specific disc calipers

Top 15 California destinations

Caption Top places to see in California

Rick Loomis / Los Angeles Times

There's no place like home. So explore California like a native. Here's our checklist of not-so-obvious but oh-so-essential sites. But tell us -- are we nuts? Today, with full expectation of howling dissent and snorts of derision, we present the Travel section's first California Golden 15.

Pool with a view: the mMarina Bay Sands in Singapore Bloomberg

Some long overdue Rome and non-Rome writings

Oh my goodness, has it really been that long since I last updated?

I can explain. First it was down to nothing but my own laziness/busy-ness. Then it was because I started going gliding again for the first time since 2008, and as a result of that, I met a guy, moved to Shakespeare’s County with him and now never have the time to update!

But I thought I’d write a quick update to let you know that I’m still here, and tell you a bit about trips I’ve done since I last updated and the travels I have planned for the rest of the year. I’m afraid they’re not all to Rome, but as they say, variety is the spice of life…

I went to Rome back in September for a long weekend with my mum, which was really nice. It’s a bit of a tradition of ours, and it’s nice because we’re both interested in the same sort of stuff – especially the traces of very early Christianity that are all over the city if you know where to ...

Sure, the warmest of the European capitals has plenty of UNESCO World Heritage Sites—the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Sistine Chapel—but when you visit Rome, the most irresistible quality may be how its modern-day trattorias and sleek coffee bars happily co-exist with ancient treasures, and how even hallowed spots like the Pantheon come to life with chatter and cappuccino drinkers after dark.
