can i mix premium economy with econ?
I'm trying to book a multi-city flight from usa to hong kong; hong kong to tpe, and then tpe to usa. I want for the long-haul portions in premium economy. Seats are available for the long haul flights in premium but no premium is available for the hong kong to tpe portion so the system won't show me any evening flights (which is the time I desire). Plenty of seats are available in econ for the tpe-hkg trip in evening.
How can i mix travel classes, take premium on the long haul and econ for the short haul?

i would say fare for published PE to TPE will be cheaper than seperate booking of Pe+Y on longhaul+shorthaul
just book as PE all the way, your hkg tpe leg is pretty much free addon wether it be Y or Pe

It's weird, because I can easily map round trips ex-LAX where the HKG-TPE portions are in Economy. On certain days, the last flight using PEY leaves at around 1:30pm though, so the system might force these somehow.
Are you willing to share the dates & route in order to reproduce what you are seeing and take it from there?
