I prefer paying extra to book a non-stop flight and then I just don't sleep the night beforehand and enter the plane, squeeze into my garbage economy seat and enter a semi-asleep fugue state for the duration of the flight. After 7 hours I basically lose track of time. 3x the price of a cross-pacific airline ticket to upgrade is a good amount of money that I'd rather just pocket. I'm 6'4", so I recognize how cramped economy is, and I have also been bumped up to business class once cause of a massive flight delay from Alaska back to the east coast, so I know what I'm missing. I won't knock anyone for flying in better comfort, but I think the suffering isn't too bad. Jet lag is going to get you anyways.

We need a travel service where the night before you need to be at your destination, you get packed, then take some drug that will cause a deep sleep and go to bed. The service comes to your house, transfers you (still asleep) to a vehicle and takes you and your luggage to the airport. There you are loaded onto a plane (still asleep!) and flown to your destination. At the destination, they take you to your hotel, and put you (still asleep!) into bed, and optionally even unpack your luggage and set your alarm for you. Then they administer something to counteract the sleeping drug and leave. From your point of view, you just go to sleep and the next morning you wake up in your hotel, ready to start the day at your destination.

  > ...you just go to sleep and the next morning you wake up in your hotel... Or you don't because the plane crashed; still better to die in your sleep anyway. But what happens if there is an emergency in the air that requires you to put on the oxygen mask, climb out to safety, or something like that?
