I can't sleep on airplanes, primarily because I can't sleep while sitting up. Even totally exhausted, I'll fall asleep for 20 minutes at most, before something becomes painful and wakes me up.
It's completely miserable on a transpacific because I arrive so very exhausted.
Still, business is WILDLY more expensive. There's no intermediate step to paying several times more. Is actually sleeping worth a few hundred dollars to me? Yes. A few thousand? No.

- Johnny555 8y agoPremium Economy doesn't really solve the problem of not being able to lay down -- I can't sleep well when sitting, even in a Premium Economy seat that has a bit more recline. But in a lay-flat seat, I can easily sleep for 7 - 8 hours (though still need a couple glasses of wine to kick-start it since bedtime on the plane doesn't usually coincide with my body's clock)
- isostatic 8y agoBA has one of the densest business class seats in the business, yet it takes up twice as much space as premium economy and 4 times as much space as business. A quick look on the Uk-singapore route shows business as 5 times the price as economy.
