Also, some of the best benefits are unlikely to be used by everyone. But if you rely on them they're great. The guaranteed Y class seat is very good even though it's watered down from before. For example...if you need a seat during a holiday, like Easter, May holiday, Xmas etc. It can be very useful for even short-hop vacations that you forgot to book until the last minute. Of course, you'll have to pay for it now due to full Y class, but if you're not too price sensitive it can really be worth its weight in gold. The difference is between being able to go somewhere and not.
