Case in point....HND-DTW on PS gives 6,428 MQM + 3,214 50% bonus MQM in 2023, or 9,642 miles toward your MM. In 2024, it's 6,428 miles toward MM no matter what fare class you pay. At least that's my understanding. Correct me if I am wrong on this.
It depends on how much you value the additional comfort of a PS seat. Sure you earn 50% bonus in 2023 towards MM, but PS fares can easily cost twice or more than Main fares on same flights. We are also running up on the end of the year and depending on route, you may no longer meet AP requirements of cheapest fares.
