Yeah, major difference being lower status miles and no HON miles compared to the business fare, but for a non-qualifying year it makes sense. I've just booked an S/V fare and upgraded with some soon expiring vouchers. I was waiting for decent business fares to upgrade but it made no sense
It actually works well with myChoice for the feeder flight, double award miles all the way.
I'm looking at loads to Asia, I booked into S-fare 7 days out and about 4-6 weeks out the lowest booking class is still available. Business cabins are however not as empty, that's why there's an incentive for Y bookings.
