Trying to book Premium Plus LAX - EZE via IAH
Currently searching for prices (either in miles or dollars) but the United App doesn't appear to offer Premium Plus service
I don't see it.
Economy, Economy Plus, Business, or F are the classes that appear?
Does United offer Premium Plus seats for points?

Random date shows available on desktop. Will always show "mixed cabin" because PP is not marketed between LAX and IAH (even if the a/c has a PP seat, it would be called "E+")

I just checked on app - get same results. Premium Economy on the IAH-EZE portion of a LAX-IAH-EZE itinerary is available for that date, so maybe your travel dates are the problem - different a/c or sold out? Didn't check award prices, but cash price for PP seems reasonable. LAX-IAH books into B and is $1155 LAX-IAH-EZE.

No Saver Fare seats are popping up, looks like 89,500 each direction, where i can get Polaris at Saver Fare for 70K
Again, the problem now on this route is that the non-stop EWR-EZE is gone from the market, so Saver Fares for Polaris hard to come by.
Looks like a better deal is just to purchase the seats outright

That’s not to say that prices don’t go up and down — they absolutely do. It’s just that there’s no way to tell what the floor might be (except that I’d be stunned if P+ awards ever cost less than a Saver Y ticket would).
