Responding to the above, how much different is this from a simple code share? Also, isn't there a JV TATL so UA gets the $ anyway? Further, why would AC be different that LH re the other PE thread has plenty of reported success booking LH on 016 stock, even having UA agents do it (noting that the reports indicate having a UA segments makes it easier).

Cheers

Air Canada Premium Economy Award with United miles

Is there a way to book Premium Economy with Air Canada using United miles? Looking for SYD/BNE to YFR. I was able to get Business going YFR to SYD in the other direction but with no option of that on the return was wondering if I could somehow get a premium economy ticket.

This may change in the fall when UA announces how its own PE product will integrate with MP.

The flight is early December and I also have a couple of GPU's. Should I go ahead and use one of them or hold out for more awards to open up? My eventual stop is Phoenix and there seems to be a lot of business class available SYD-LAX or SYD-SFO.

Just checked again, looks like both LAX and SFO waitlisted. Both flights have around 25% fill of seats so far. Perhaps I will wait out a couple of more weeks.

Hi there,

I see 9 "N" class availability in Expertflyer for Air Canada Premium Economy Award tickets. United
reservations does not see these. Does that mean that they are only available for AC frequent
flyers ? Is there a way to book these with United miles ?

Thanks in advance for your responses...
