Premium Economy IKK on Aeroplan now available
When I search for flight on Aeroplan and click the Priority Reward button, I'm seeing additional seats in PY that seem bookable.
For example, Jan 25 YVR-YYZ only shows PY availability when I click IKK button.

Nice to see this as it seemed like a gap in the program before. Surprising that they didn't make a big deal of it with an e-mail blast, but maybe IT just jumped the gun.

YYZ-YVR. I'm not sure if this is actually IKK though, as it doesn't show a priority icon. I saw no PY seats until I hit priority rewards, but now see PY for 20k and IKK Y at 25k. PY is not priced at IKK levels?
Edit - tried some more dates and it doesn't seem 50k gets true IKK PY. But there must be a glitch where I don't see any PY availability unless I hit the priority rewards button, which then returns regular PY seats.

actually Jumper Jack recently started a thread about this:
AE(or AC?) is locking select PE Award booking to Elite+ members only
and this behavior was actually mentioned by me last year as well:
International IKK question
so, nothing new.

Does anyone have any information on how this works?
As an experiment, I looked at a flight 2.5 days from now. It's
J9 C9 D9 Z9 P9 R9 (actual load 4/30, so 26 open)
O9 E9 N9 (actual load 2/21, so 19 open)
Y9 B9 M9 U9 H9 Q9 V9 W9 G9 S9 T9 L0 A0 K0 (actual load 202/247, so 45 open)
For redemption:
J regular (I): 0
PY regular ("N"): 0
Y regular (X): 0
J IKK: 8+
PY IKK: 0
Y IKK: 8+
So... is there really PY IKK? We're 60 hours from departure, PY is booked 2/21, both J and Y have at least 8 IKK (which is the max I can search for), but PY is 0.
