Have a SFO-EWR-ASIA booking on United (EWR is the only route with PremEconomy all the way) I generally overfly the East Coast but that is not an option in this case.
I can get the need flights on united.com but if I use Round Trip SFO-ASIA on google flights on the inbound, it shows economy for SFO-EWR (on a 789), which of course prices differently. If I use Multi-city on google flights, to force PremPlus, it prices much higher than united.com.

How to get GF to show the desired flughts in the desired cabin at the same price?

Do you have an actual route? Trying to understand how you are routing beyond EWR: SFO-EWR-(FRA?/MUC?/ZRH)-Asia? With the last leg on LH group? Or somehow backtracking from EWR via the Pacific say SFO-EWR-HND-Asia? The latter I would be surprised was an allowed routing.
