Difference between Economy premium seats?
Noticed when i was booking my ticket on Air France, there were two options listed.
Economy Premium standard and Economy premium class?
Is there any difference? I paid close the 1800 dollars and was only able to choose economy premium standard seats? other option was grayed out.
Not sure why other option was not given as price is almost the same?
Also, do Economy premium class has priority check-in like business class do?

Sorry I mixed up my question;
When I was checking my seat selection I was only able to select only few options.
I went to seat guru app to check the seats and some are saying economy premium bulkhead and economy premium standard?
I wasn't able to select economy premium bulkhead, but only economy premium standard?
I mean is there even any difference between the two or are they all same?
Not sure if they are the same?

Sorry but you will need to use the correct wordings because it doesn't mean anything for us at the moment. On AF, Economy and Premium Economy are 2 distincts classes of service (different seats and amenities). There is no "premium Eco standard" or "premium Eco bulkhead". In Economy, some seats are sold as "seat plus" for a fee because of extra legroom (bulkhead, exit rows, upper deck on the B744). In Premium Eco, there is no seat plus.

The confusion seems to come from the terminology used on seatguru maps.
Seatguru refers to the first row of PE as "standard and bulkhead" and the other rows of PE as "standard".
Bassinets are usually located in that first row.

Some Premium Economy seats are only available to Elite+ up until check-in time. That's probably why OP cannot select them.

I've never been able to select a seat in PE (PV) in the bulkhead when I've purchased tickets. Sure, could be already sold out. But our last flight had many open seats in PV and I still wasn't able to select a bulkhead ahead of time (there were some that flew empty, even in the bulkhead). Now, I don't actually like sitting in a bulkhead, so I've never tried to get those seats at check-in, but I can see how that could be a restricted row for disabled and/or infants in bassinets?
