-No PE so you can upgrade straight from Y -> J (obviously not a huge issue for CX intra-Asia flights however)
-There's less difference between the super saver Y fares vs. upgradable Y fares, unlike CX where the difference is larger
.

I heard SQ will introduce a Y+ next year? There will certainly be a retooling of the KF redemption once it's introduced.
