Not seen any discussion on this yet so ill be the one to kick it off: https://flights.cathaypacific.com/en_AU/offers/premium-economy-plus-offer.html

It appears to be a complimentary short haul leg in J on what would otherwise be PE all the way through:
Premium Economy between Australia and Hong Kong

Business class between Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland or Taiwan, China
I am on the fence - my main gripe is that PE between AU-HKG on the redeye is just as uncomfortable as regular Y, so I don't see much value improvement - that being said, if you are a regular PE or daytime traveller, I can see this being wonderful value.

For me, I think Cathays PE pricing is a bit too extreme relative to Y, but I'd like to hear some other perspectives.
