I'm surprised that books into standard (P). A lot of the cheaper ones that were pricing as standard moved to into a saver fare bucket that earns 0 points. They also increased the standard cancel fee from $100 to $200.

Speaking of SQ, I just landed in EWR after flying the "worlds longest flight" in premium economy. I did not like the seat as much as I thought i would. Solo seat is cool but the leg rest and foot rest were useless. It has same width and pitch listed as the new premium on AA/DL/UA but it did not feel as roomy as my AA Premium flight on 787
