Confusingly, for some itineraries PP is available, but not for others (e.g., an earlier connection it's not, later connection it is). Understand that the LH group flight doesn't have PP, so it would be mixed cabin anyway . . . but any tricks to allow such a booking?
Yes have experienced exactly this and seems to be 789 related IME Multi-city is the solution.
Interestingly agents see the same issue, have taught more than one the multi-city trick.. It was funny to hear their excuses why this could not be book and then just asked for them to try multi-city. "Looks like we can book that"
