PE from FCO - ORD 9/12/19 * 788
After reading this thread and the entire Wiki, it seems this is still being rolled out on the 788s.
Any thoughts/speculation as to when this might be available for purchase ?
Thanks.

I'm trying to purchase PDX-DFW-MAD (AA 36/777) -FLR and then FCO-ORD (AA 111/788) . I can purchase PE on the outbound, but AA isn't selling it for the FCO-ORD leg.

Now looking R/T FCO and interestingly, can purchase PE. ( same #111 - thru ORD where PE was previously unavailable if bundled with the aforementioned outbound)
OT: Checking on AA, it is amazing to me AA is selling flights with 1:45 hr connections in CDG; 1:10 in FRA - both which would require passing thru immigration (only customs check in FLR) and since there's no interline agreement on AA to transfer bags to an AF/LH flight.--rechecking ($$) etc. May meet MCTs, but what a nightmare!

Of course there's an interline baggage agreement. Why do you think there's not? (Having said that, I never see any itineraries with these other carriers for sale. How are you finding the,?)

Perhaps I was wrong, but I always thought an interline baggage agreement didn't exist between alliances, despite it all being on one PNR. eg: moving from an AA/OW flt on to an AF/ST or LH/SA.
I've even experienced this within alliances: flying BA ( in J) into JFK and then on an AA flight (in F) : BA wouldn't transfer it- had to recheck (and no- the bag still didn't make it but was headed home so not a big deal...)

2. What if I have separate tickets in the same PNR for itineraries with American to a nononeworld carrier? Our policy on American to non-oneworld airline tickets has not changed. We will not through-check customers or bags even if the tickets are in the same PNR. The customer will need to collect their baggage at the final destination on the American 001 ticket. The customer is responsible for the baggage fees associated on the second ticket when the baggage is re-checked with the non-oneworld airline. This may involve exiting the secure area to claim and re-check the baggage. International flights may require clearing customs and rechecking on the other airline to the final destination.

That's about separate tickets. If it's all on one ticket, AA has baggage agreements with basically every major airline. I cant find the definitive list for AA right now, but here's some random example of non-oneworld airlines that say they have interline baggage agreements with AA:

AA Premium Economy / PE / PEY on 787-8 progress and seat info
Thanks. I understand there can be seperate tickets under one PNR ( up to 12, I think). I currently have a flight booked (in PE!) in May thru BA: (PDX-DFW-CDG/MRS-LHR-SEA-PDX) I checked and saw different ticket numbers for the LHR-SEA-PDX segs (and SEA-PDX is on AS) . I am not disputing what you're saying, but it's certainly complex.

The final two Boeing 777-200 left to be retrofit (aircraft registrations N759AN and N795AN) entered the shop at the end of November. With these out of service, all 777-200s operating going forward will have the following configuration:
37 Business (1-2-1 arrangement)
24 Premium Economy (2-4-2)
66 Main Cabin Extra (3-4-3)
146 Economy (3-4-3)

One 787-8 has Ben retrofitted with PE; AA states the 788 refit will be accomplished during the first half of 2019.
Of the AA widebody fleet, only the 767-300ERs and A330-300 will not be refitted with Premium Economy seats.

The 772s will all be refitted when N759AN and N795AN emerge from the shop later this month.

Premium economy is being sold MIA-DFW--HNL, with both legs on a 772 but only DFW-HNL restricting seat assignment on a regular economy ticket (next October).
Wonder when all the domestic 772 routes will be sold that way.
