When did premium economy, usually Y+ (or even PE) become W? I’ve read W on a few threads recently, a new abbreviation as far as I am aware.
W is QF booking class for PE, just like J is for Business, been used interchangeably for as long as I can remember.When did premium economy, usually Y+ (or even PE) become W? I’ve read W on a few threads recently, a new abbreviation as far as I am aware.

"W" is the bucket QF (and some others, but not all) use for full fare Premium Economy. Fits with J (Business), Y (Economy) and of course, First.When did premium economy, usually Y+ (or even PE) become W? I’ve read W on a few threads recently, a new abbreviation as far as I am aware.

Y+ on the other hand can get confused with "extra legroom" seats in the eco cabin - but are NOT Premium Economy (ie same Y service). Most commonly it has been used to refer to UA''s Economy Plus nomenclature. Similiar products are AA Main Cabin Extra (MCE) and Delta' Comfort Plus. None of these are the same thing as a dedicated Premium Economy cabin so it can be confusing to use this when talking about Premium Economy.
I'm am booked domestic rededeal ( class e ) and want to use points to upgrade to J for 2 of us.
I would not like to be in the situation where one of us got the upgrade but not the other .
I'd like to request a points upgrade -
( when i did the original booking , paid J was some 750 dollars above the economy fare I booked so i did not go for it. Today the business fare on the same flight and date is only $180 above economy . I could wear that but I suspect that the only way i can make the change now would be to cancel the e fare and pay a penalty and separately purchase the J one.
So my question ,in the case of 2 requests , does the "system" only release and charge for the upgraded J seats when 2 are available or is there the risk that one may become available and points automatically deducted leaving one down the back .
No doubt , in that case , my partner will be up front and I'll be down with my granddaughters!
If on the same booking, then upgrades are processed for all pax, or none.I'm am booked domestic rededeal ( class e ) and want to use points to upgrade to J for 2 of us.

I imagine it could even be done online tbh. It would probably imcur the change fee of course.Can’t you start my telephoning QF to see if you can rebook in J by paying the difference between the current price and what you paid? Worth asking!
I haven't been able to do it online - will ring the call centre tomorrow.I imagine it could even be done online tbh. It would probably imcur the change fee of course.
So the change flights option is greyed out?I haven't been able to do it online - will ring the call centre tomorrow.
No, but the only option is to change the dates nil else .So the change flights option is greyed out?
That is a good upgrade! Which leg?QF1 J>F classic upgrade notified at T-60hrs (WP)
BothThat is a good upgrade! Which leg?
No. Nothing to do with that.Me and my wife (Both currently Gold) booked premium economy Melbourne to London (Economy to Perth followed by Premium Economy for the Perth to LHR leg). Soon after booking we applied for a points business upgrade for the Melbourne to Perth leg.
Much to our surprise 70 days before travel we got the upgrade.
In the past we have only found out about upgrades a few hours before flying, perhaps things are looking up since the new CEO?
