EVERY year, this stupid poll is made missing arguably the most valuable options to the entire program (though I'd say IKK and YQ waiver are separate benefits).
Then most people go to the poll and pick an option without reading the thread, thereby making it impossible for "other" to ever win.
So it's entirely useless.

+1 for IKK with YQ waiver. I agree, it's two benefits - but, as has been pointed out, the poll is flawed anyways.

I'd vote for IKK and YQ waiver, but I get no YQ waiver on international flights, and my IKK is more like "Double mile KK" .

The prioriy waitlisting has been rather helpful to me this year as I have sometimes been able to get on an earlier flight because of my status. Not sexy, I know, but it works for those of us who are not SE 100K+

Are you talking about airport standby, or reservation waitlisting?
