Note that if you really get in a jam, as an EXP you (plus companion) can book full-fare Y on any flight systemwide with 24 hours' notice, with guaranteed availability even on sold-out flights.

I don't know how often EXPs take advantage of this benefit, but trust me, it is right there in the benefit guide!
