Premium economy seat sold as economy.

So I had a flight a few weeks ago from LAX to LHR on a Y ticket and they opened the PE cabin for regular economy passengers. There wasn't PE service, but regardless, I had a much better flight than I expected.

Was wondering if there is any rhyme or reason as to what routes they do this service?

They need to complete the conversion of the 772 fleet to have PE on all planes before they can sell that class of service due to equipment rotations. For example, the dedicated 77W routes will finally start true PE service on June 26th since all those birds have been converted to offer PE seats, until then, the PE seats will be available for Y ticket holders (access priority given to AA top tiers, of course).

Thanks for the answers. So, looks like I just got lucky and doubt I'll be able to use it again.

The 45 Business Seat 772s are experiencing a delay in the conversion to J 37 and addition of Premium Economy, so it’s possible you could do this for a few months.
