You already have the segment using the premium fare basis; the ticket just needs to be revalidated against that segment when the prime rbd (Z) is available.

I don't think I've been able to figure out the logic as to when the computer delegates a differential fare to Y versus the underlying Economy rbd. It seems to prefer the latter most of the time, but I feel like I've seen Y from time to time (and a pure premium fare is always Y). Maybe the way the booking code table is defined is different on some of the varying implementations of differential fares?
