Aeroplan booking...newbie!
UA Platinum, though not sure how much/if any that helps. Looking to make a somewhat last second booking EWR-YVR. When I check online I clearly see the mileage and flight options, but they are all listed under "economy/premium economy". The direct from EWR is on a 787-9, and I'd really like to book into premium cabin. Is this possible to do? There's no indication on the booking page of how to do this, or whether it's even possible to upgrade it into the premium economy cabin....

"economy/premium economy" is the default
Put your mouse over it and toggle to get Business/First

1) economy / premium economy
2) business / First
AC currently sells the premium economy seats on the 789 EWR-YVR as preferred seats, so you can redeem for an economy award and then pay a fee to select a seat in the PE cabin (certain AC elite members can select those seats for free).

When you enter your information into the Aeroplan search engine, there is a drop down box with two options:
1) economy / premium economy
2) business / First
