[FARE GONE] AA/BA: YYZ-VCE Economy/Premium Economy Same Price??
I am looking at flights from YYZ to VCE over the Christmas/New Year's holidays. Right now I am seeing fares as low as $720 CAD return with AA/BA. For some reason Premium Economy is the same price as Economy. Is there a promotion running right now with AA or BA? Is this an error? Or are these fares always identical?

Interesting. That looks pretty fantastic if it's actually the case.

never the same. might be a glitch/error/promotion or just the simple fact the planes don't have a premium economy cabin for those particular flights...

Only works on AA codeshares. Books into W on the TATL, Y on the intra-Europe flights. Also valid to MAD, LIS, and some other cities around Southern Europe.

Went through to holding the fare (selected "Premium Economy" throughout booking) and it says it's just Economy. Not sure if that's the case always with AA bookings in Premium Economy :/

It shows up as "Premium Economy" under class of service?

No--you were right. I tried it again. But I also tried it for a flight to LHR that shows a much higher price for PE, and on the final screen before payment it too shows the class of service as "Economy".

Works from YUL as well. Shows up as W for the transatlantic sectors and Y for the intra european. Other European destinations available include AGP, AMS (for $100 more). Just mess around on google flights and go to aa.com to book (go to advanced search and specific ALL CARRIERS).

Wish I could book this
