We travelled First Class economy (Star Class?) in March and, although I haven't had experience of Premier, I did take note of the apparent differences to see if we'd try to upgrade in future.

• The Premier seats were slightly bigger, but the economy seats were really comfortable with more room than VA or BA economy. Even DH, at 6'3" found them fine.
  
• Premier class menu was different (didn't see what) and the drinks are free. Now, I don't get on board an aeroplane for a gourmet meal, but I have to say the First Class economy food was the best I've had on a flight anywhere for a long time, possibly the best ever! Hopefully, the Premier menu was even better! Economy drinks weren't too expensive and were easy to get when you wanted them.
  
• Premier class entertainment did have me very envious of their on-demand system ... but then we all had the option to upgrade for £5 per person - excellent value and well worth it!
  
• Economy baggage limit was measly at 22kg (?). I don't know what the Premier allowance is, but I'd be tempted to upgrade for that alone
  
• Premier had a separate check-in line, but we had very little time to wait in economy - maybe we were just lucky.

On balance, if I had the spare cash, I probably would upgrade in future, mainly for the baggage allowance. However, I would be very happy to fly economy if there were no spare pennies to upgrade
