Thanks for your help
Not sure about the premium economy bit but AA seem to have a China Eastern Airlines codeshare LAX-PVG AA5790 - not sure if it earns AA miles.

Otherwise you could fly CX to HKG or AA to NRT and connect from there to PVG (but I don't think there is a OneWorld airline for that last bit).

Or slightly further fly QF to SYD then QF to PVG.

Or even further (but have premium economy!) BA to LHR, then BA to PVG.

There will be other routes but if you want to explore further, the only places you can fly to PVG on OneWorld airlines are from HEL, LHR, MEL and SYD (ignoring codeshares as I'm not sure if they earn miles - someone else will be able to give you much more information.)

Note if you are flying in economy then the amount of Q-points (needed for challenge - I assume you are on a challenge if your profile is up-to-date) you earn will vary depending on the airline/ booking class.

But like Yeti88 said - start a new thread - not many people will look in this post!
