Same here. When I was young I flew long haul Y all the time. Now my goal is never to fly long haul Y again. I do agree, however, that Premium Economy is a terrible value. I feel like business, as expensive as it is, provides much more value, as you get 3 times more space than Premium Economy and a soft product (food etc) that is in a whole different universe (at least on the Japanese carriers).
