I was using Google Flights recently to shop around for fares to the continent in September. I like flying premium economy so that was the ticket class I had my search set to. I found some $1,200 fares to Paris, so after checking that my GF could get flights on the same dates, I booked our trip.
When I went to choose my seats, I learned that Delta had scammed me. They appear to have added a "free" checked bag to their Economy Plus ticket class, and also free drinks, and feel that is enough to qualify as premium economy service. Sadly, it's the same 3 x 4 x 3 seating on their ancient 767 planes with tiny overhead bins, cramped seats, and tiny TV monitors.
I went through with the booking because the my GF and I will arrive and depart within 90 minutes of each other from CDG, but I may try to report this to Google. I've flown in the PE cabins on Lufthansa and LOT and there is no way that Delta should be allowed to re-badge their economy plus section as premium economy.
