anyone know how to book a Premium Economy seat on the major sites - like Orbitz or Expedia?

I know how to see EC and UC tickets, but can't figure out what the designation is for finding PE fares on these sites.

thanks

On uk expedia there is a drop down pick box and you select premium economy from that. I usually do it after the generic economy search. You can also do it from the advanced search on the front screen

As Tonty says...see this example, the Vs and PE options are from the drop down menu.

Enjoy.

I have sometimes found tickets cheaper on Orbitz than on VS site. Never knew they matched it, I just took up the Orbitz flights.
Once was UC even, about $450 less than VS, if memory serves. (which it doesn't always these days)

VS do say they will match any online price.


No credit card fees on Expedia which is a big incentive !

There was a thread recently on the price match offer and it is quite restricted such as you need to claim by midnight of the day you bought the ticket etc.

Consensus was just to buy the cheapest and save the hassle and maby VS will get the message about the 1.5% credit/debit card fee.

I thought you couldn't get the bonus shopping miles for booking flights with expedia via the VS shopping link.

You do still get the double miles if you use VS Amex though
