To answer my own question, although Orbitz does not have a Premium Economy option during it's booking process, my confirmation did come back as PE, booked in A.
My dates are set in stone, so unless there is a reason beyond flexibility, I'll not bump up to U class. Both A and U credit at 110% to AC.
Thanks to everyone who searched these TK fares out...

It looks like round trip and one way tickets can only originate in HKG, right? I see HKG-IST-LAX-IST-HKG or HKG-IST-LAX available but nothing out of LAX. Even with this restriction its a great deal and I might be able to combine it with an award ticket, thanks OP!

As far as I can tell, this is correct. I did HKG-IST-LAX with a stopover in IST for ~$400 and will get an award ticket to HKG.

It looks like this credits to UA/CO at 100% EQM/RDM but excludes the elite RDM bonus which only applies to CO/UA/US/AC/LH IIRC.

free changes
What is advantage to book stopover if that can be accomplished by changing it anytime later without a fee according the rules? Any expert flying in premium classes please?

Nice find! I booked a trip home for a close friend who is studying abroad in China. I got jealous of the fare and ended up booking a one way from HKG for myself. I'll burn some miles to get out there.
Does anyone else have "Economy" in their confirmation? I bought it from TK and it says U but does not say comfort class anywhere.

But still a very nice fare. Only intermittent dates available in June, July and August.

Where did you get this. This has never been the case for this fare. I noted in the beginning that Travelocity and KVS do not give correct rules in case you are using those sources.

This is the case for HKG-YYZ which helped me to find this (that's why the credits go to 'Away from YYZ' who spotted the YYZ fare).

when I was looking earlier on ITA, the fare basis came up as A-something but the rules said something along the lines of the booking class being in V, so I wouldn't necessarily count on it posting as A class.
Edit: At least that's what I remember seeing on the one way fare.
