AF Premium Economy - Tarom Code Share, Which Cabin?

Hi Folks - I'll be traveling to Bucharest this winter and found a reasonable PE fare on AF. The routing / fare class info is as follows:

MCO-JFK: DL A - Discounted First, First Class Cabin
JFK-CDG: AF W - Premium Economy, PE Cabin
CDG-OTP: RO W (AF Code Share) - Premium Economy, Cabin??

OTP-CDG: RO W (AF Code Share) - Premium Economy, Cabin??
CDG-ATL: AF W - Premium Economy, PE Cabin
ATL-MCO: DL A - Discounted First, First Class Cabin

For the RO flights, what cabin does W book into? RO does not have a PE cabin, but only economy and first. Will the AF code share book me into RO F?

Thanks!

RO is not economy and first, but economy and business, but it doesn't matter because if you are booked in AF Premium economy on a flight operated by RO, you will unfortunately be sat in Y.

In other words, if you can do the trip with the CDG-OTP-CDG operated by AF, you'll have a better trip!

Well, that bites! Thanks for the quick response. The fare was 1750, which is not bad at all. Does not seem as though the AF flights to OTP price the same. The search continues

AF will be J and Y for intra Europe, the same at RO. Hence little difference unless the Y offering is massively different.

No, on AF flights, there are separate cabins within Europe between economy and Premium Economy*, which is the same service as business class with no free middle seat. On a longer flight like CDG-OTP, the service would actually be quite nice.

* except on domestic flights and flights operated by regional subsidiaries but those are clearly indicated and do not include CDG-OTP.
