Even if you can enjoy some of the benefits, the fact remains that int'l Silver Wings fares are in too low a booking class to be upgradeable. What's the use of that? As age increases, you need the comfort, not the (supposed) low prices.

When they offered me membership 18 months ago, I read all the small print and decided not to enroll.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have H+ Silver Wings fares at a premium - the question is how likely people are to buy up to the upgradeable fare? In fact, this is one of the biggest mysteries of the allure of the "H" fare.
