I would get a couple hours. Window helps to lean on but makes it a bitch to get up.

If I sleep on the plane you better believe I’ll scare the people next to me with at least one hypnic jerk.

Flying East is easy, I take the night flight and land in the AM. I have a few glasses of wine and sleep. Flying to the west is tough, because you leave in the afternoon but land in the afternoon. I try to just watch movies and if I can steal a few hours, great.

That’s a 2500 increase. I rather use that money when I get to my destination.




Try a little higher.

I bid $1500 for a bump from Premium Economy to Business class on my recent trip to Australia. Didn't get it. Only two things would have beat me. Obviously, a higher bid, or a super duper premium platinum sky chief diamond club member.

I offered to pay the cost of my ticket again for a bump, and didn't get it. Can only imagine what first class cost.

Didn't matter though. Premium Economy for long haul flights is just fine with me. Very nice. 4 flight attendants for 40 seats. Better food, better liquor, bigger seats (I'm fat ), better entertainment monitors, more recline, more leg room, leg rests, etc.

I've flown to Singapore and the middle east a lot. Business or better.

I do not sleep.

My first time I tried to drink myself into blacking out. Instead I ended up in Russia with a brutal bourbon hangover and reeeeeeeeking of whiskey.

I just read and drink coffee now.

Business class, a few drinks will do the trick if it's an overnight.

Economy, even hammered with melatonin, I'm in and out and always trying to get comfortable.

If a terrorist stood up, I would just throw and extremely worn tom Clancy novel at him.
