Redeeming US Miles for Premium Economy on *A Partners?
Is it possible to redeem miles for Premium Economy seats on US Airways partners if available?

hmmm...I've been wondering this for awhile. I was thinking about trying to get a Y+ award on TK for JFK-IST next year. I haven't called anyone yet, but from my research my best bet would be to go for a Y award and do a cash upgrade later, although my rational side demands a better cpm return on my miles via a C reward.

Gotta be careful even with business. US only gives 100% on Z tickets on UA. 
You need C, D or J and even then it's only 125%.
You'd think they could at least give 150% PQMs on Z and above (hell, even for Y/B) and then keep the RDM bonus standard. PQMs don't cost them anything really.

The OP is asking about redemption, not earning.

Qantas has completely eliminated F class on certain routes to make room for premium economy. They can stuff more people in by throwing them a few inches more crumbs and hence drive up revenue. I see the F class market shrinking and the business and premium economy taking over.
