Comparing PPRO to PLAT:
- Group 2 boarding vs group 3
- 72 hour upgrade window vs 48
- Soho lounge access at JFK vs Greenwich
- OWE lounge access around the world vs OWS
- 3 free checked bags vs 2
It comes down to what benefits are of most value to you. If you travel intl a lot out of JFK, then Soho is a nice step up. If you have a need to take a lot of luggage on trips, then the 3rd bag is nice. etc. etc etc.
