premium economy vs business vs standard economy-flight attendant service/booking code

I suspect the questions have been asked and answered numerous times on this forum, but I will ask it (again) nonetheless. I will not ask about the seat specifications - as that information is in the sticky thread.

In terms of the flight attendant service, what are the differences (in this case - for example between Honolulu and Auckland and between Auckland and Sydney) between the premium economy service, and the 2 other classes of service?

I would like to look at the fares (either by using the KVS tool, or the expertflyer tool). What the booking codes corresponding to premium economy class of service?

Thansk,

There is no PE on HNL-AKL or AKL-SYD flights which might pose a problem

HNL-AKL will have Econ and Bus Class, no Prem Econ or Bus Premiere.

HNL-AKL is serviced with a 767. I flew on the 767 in J to SYD from AKL this past Feb. It was a morning flight, so breakfast only was served, cabin was almost empty, service was excellent. I have flown all three cabin classes on NZ within the past coule of years, I have NEVER experienced anything but very good to excellent inflight service.
The NZ 767s are 2-2-2 in J, but for some reason they are so much roomier that AC's old 2-2-2 J cabin. Legroom is excellent, I'm 6'4", armrest is wide, seat is comfortable. Reclines almost as much as the AC 333 cradle seat.
Flying between AKL and SYD on NZ can involve several different aircraft, really need to check flights. Take the 767 over the 320 if you can.

I would like to look at the fares (either by using the KVS tool, or the expertflyer tool). What the booking codes corresponding to premium economy class of service?
This is the thread you want, it seems a little out of date.

Premium economy is sold only on longhaul routes operated by 777 and 747. On the few remaining shorthaul flights which use 777 and 747, the premium economy seats are used as space+ (ie economy service with better seating for *G, koru club and full Y passengers).
