So... I'm going to see my family in ICN soon and decided I might try this PEY thing out. (fare was a steal on sale actually, close to discount Y fares).
I currently got 30K selected on all longhaul sectors (33G) but the seat next to me is taken whereas entire row 33 is empty.
What do you guys reckon?

Highly unlikely row 33 will still be empty as your departure date get closer.

You are right. I'll probably be angry at myself if I switch now only to find out I've lost both 30K and also there's someone next to me.
Perhaps it might be worth a try again after I've done OLCI and at the airport with the check in agent.

JFK to HGK, 777, Premium Economy:
Is there wi-fi on the plane? If not, any live TV broadcasts? Some channel with updated sports scores? I've got an NHL playoff game I'd like to be connected with, don't want to have to wait 18 hours to find out if my team won.

Thank you.
As the tag is on the handle of my suitcase, I will have to pull it out of the overhead bin, slide the entire unit through the card reader, and then make my call. I am assuming that the special flight attendant in Premium Economy will assist me with this process.

This is basically the principle of covering all 3 sides, so the special PE Bar & Cabin crew can see it from all angles.
In all seriousness though, aren't these tags free to order through CX's website? I hardly ever use them but whenever I use them, it is about as durable as a piece of paper so I find myself basically ordering one as I'm attaching it to the suitcase.

Gate agent looked at the bags, saw the gleaming green tags, and allowed me to be the first Premium Economy member to board and it was while First Class was just boarding. 34A is great, the recline is better than expected, and the Briggs & Riley 22" fit perfectly in the overhead bin.
Thanks again to those who helped. My contribution to future PEY customers is, no, you don't need three Marco Polo luggage tags to be treated like a rock star; only takes two.

Have a flight in few months to BOM
The planes alloted and seat selected are
77H : 34K . Here I selected the K seat because of the lavatory which is on the same side. But i seem to like the 32K seat also. Downsides being the lavatory just in front of it and maybe a bassinet and for some reason all seats in the first row are blocked. Should i stick to 34K?
77G : 33K. Again the Last row. I would like the 30K. No bassinet. No lavatory and seatguru says its a good seat. But all seats in row 30 show as occupied. I have heard the first rows in these planes dont have windows. Is this true?
33G : 33A . Last row. I think sticking to this seat would be the best option.

Just back from YVR to HKG and return.
YVR to HKG 77H:PE has its own lavatory. Much much cleaner and no line up. Taken the 32AC which is the second row on the other side of the lavatory. Have to walk in front of row 30 DEFG to get to lavatory. Still find it better than 32HK since it's too close. Will choose 32AC again in the future.
HKG to YVR 77G: - have to use lavatory in the Y. Always occupied and a bit dirty. Sit on 32HK. Third row. When it came dinner time, one of the choice is gone. No more steak, have to either pick fish or veggie. Not too happy about it.
Overall, I prefer the 77H since it has its own lavatory and it was a midnight flight so no kid and much quiet.
