Seems like my post is only half true after revisiting this old thread. You are only going to be moved to J if your ticket (booked in W or R) is part of a long-haul itinerary. So you are out of luck if your journey in PEY is a single short-haul segment or roundtrip.
Not necessarily. I was traveling on a one-way BKK-HKG ticket and was bumped up to J a few weeks out.

Silly question, but how do you price out mixed class bookings on ITA matrix? I only see options for "cheapest available", "premium economy", "business class or higher", and "first class". They seem to apply to the whole journey. Do you look at each sector individually?
In ITA, if you select PEY it will show the first leg in business and second in PEY.

In most cases, at least recently, when I bought R SFO-HKG-PEK, HKG-PEK was booked into I when PEY is not available.

Thank you!

Since I'm looking at a promo PEY ticket, that would be E class? Guess I'd better do my best to book my ticket on a flight with a PEY cabin. It'll be just bad luck if there's an aircraft swap later on.

If they swap to a flight without PEY, who knows - they may put you in J instead or give you compensation.

They might try to get away with downgrade + nothing at all
