Y+

W

I think I prefer W. Single letter like Y or J.

Does W represent the same thing as the W in WP?

It’s more like ‘Wannabe J’

Correct, Premium Economy can also be considered World class (well except on Qantas, I suppose).

This is exactly what a Frequent Flyer program should be doing. It is rewarding those who Frequently Fly with the airline and thus have status.

Seems very sensible

If only.

I remember being a lowly Silver with Northwest Airlines back when I was living in the USA. I got *guaranteed* free business class upgrades if there was an empty seat up front on any domestic flight after the plats and golds had been upgraded. Maybe 1/4 flights I got an upgrade. *That’s* how you recognise your frequent flyers. Even as a poor postdoc I would pay extra to fly NWA over other airlines.
