I understand elites can get premium economy standby. Does that happen frequently? How would that compare with Economy Plus? Any benefits here for my spouse?

In Asia, I tend to go to Bangkok and Shanghai. Do not expect to spend much time in Japan. I live in New York. Appreciate any thoughts.
Do you expect to fly enough to attain Diamond status? What types of fares do you normally purchase? I suggest you review the ANA elite member information on their website to better understand the benefits provided.
