I normally don't get much flexibility in terms of dates for travel, so finding PZ space tends to be hit or miss for me since I can't actively seek it out. Got lucky this time!
I would purchase a W class ticket to save 40 Pluspoints because the fare difference between W and S is small (<$100). I do not have an unlimited number of Pluspoints.
