Do you still get a Premium Economy seat on transatlantic routes if you’re United Gold?

Yep. For you and one companion on the same booking

Economy plus not premium economy

What’s the difference? I thought it was the same

There are 2 products: Economy Plus and Premium Plus.

Economy Plus is free for elites on all flights. They're part of Economy Class, they're just seats you can select that are at the front and have more leg room.

Premium Plus is considered a separate class of service (sold completely separately, like how Economy and Polaris are separate classes). It has the same seats as domestic F, and also has higher-level meals and service over Economy. United is still modifying aircraft to add these seats, so they are only selling Premium Plus on certain routes. If your flight is on a plane with Premium Plus seats, but the route isn't selling Premium Plus yet, you may pick them the same way you pick Economy Plus seats. Easiest way to know: if they're purple on the seat map you can't pick them, but you can if they're blue.

Nice! Are the “economy plus” that’s free for elites any good on Trans-Atlantic routes? Haven’t ever flown United abroad

On a massive United flight from Europe to CA right now and there’s no economy plus section - just the premium plus and Polaris cabins. Guessing economy plus may get axed (at least partially) during some of the aircraft retrofitting...
