That said - EXPs do get access to Premium Economy seats with 24 hours of departure, if any are available, and the system is behaving itself. I've not seen any reports of information about if this works on award tickets or not. Would be curious to know.
I would be content with PEY seat if it's indeed available. Will report back. Thanks.
