For me the AQM bonus isn't worth it... I might as well make TWO trips in Tango instead of 1 trip in PE if it was just for the points. That way I get to travel more. 2 tango = 1 Flex/PE in AQM, but double the AQS.
Segments are kind of irrelevant on TPACs. You'd qualify in AQM way before you'd hit even 25 segments even on Tango.

To each his and her own, but maybe it partly depends on how you plan to spend the time when you're there as well. For me, I'm not going for happyhappy funtimes. If I could access the funds, I could functionally justify J. I am not a spring chicken and I arrive in the afternoon and am up at an 0800 meeting the next morning and on my feet for 16-hour days for the next five days. For me, I think I can swing PY as it is essentially the same as Flex (and way less than full Y).
