Be careful when booking LA PREMIERE via DL codeshare, especially via Google flights.
The system can get confused by the codeshare number and actually be booking you a PE cabin ticket.

Code:

If you paste that link into a fresh incognito window, and maybe you have to try it twice in the same window, it will eventually price out:

Yesterday, I booked my LP flights with DL. I called in 7 different times over 4 weeks to try and get an agent that knew what they were doing to book the DL marketed AF LP flights. Great Diamond Desk agent yesterday that only had 6 months experience at Delta. I thoroughly explained what I needed, she listened and consulted multiple times with global support. It was her first LP booking. On the phone for about 30 min but that was fine.
I was very pleased with her customer service. She told me it was her first LP booking and she was very happy to have this under her belt and thanked me for booking LP so she could learn and know for the next LP customer.
All in all, a great experience with DL
For those of you that have flown LP, at what point do they reach out to you with their LP phone number, etc. My flights aren’t until August so I’m in no rush right now.
