Still W probably earns extra MQMs, but I haven't checked the rules on this recently.

Also seeing SFO-HKG in early Nov for $761.
Agreed that the seat isn't great or even PE, but this earns 125% on FB, which is awesome since you normally earn 125% on ST J fares.

I don't think this is true Premium Economy, especially in October before the first regularly scheduled A350 flights. It's C+ which on DL books into W class, but they're just coach seats with a few inches of extra legroom and some very minor other perks. Think of this as the equivalent of Y+ on UA.

Correct, it's just the C+ seating. However, DL shows two different earning rates for W fares: as PE it's 150% MQM's and as Delta Comfort+ it's 100%. I'm assuming this one would be 100% for the domestic segments and 150% for the TPAC? If so, then one of these satisfies the DL status match for PLT thru 2/19.

The first DL A350 routes are ICN, PVG, and PEK, IIRC all from DTW. SEA-HKG will not get genuine PR for a long time.

I have a few from YYZ to HKG, Oct Dec this year at around $700 Canadian, upgraded to comfort plus by DL DM status.
I am in HKG now on a J ticket that was less than $3000 Canadian as summer demand for J is very very low.
