A lay-flat seat tops out at being slightly less comfortable than sitting in your couch at home. I wouldn’t consider it a vacation-tier experience (unless you count it as a mini-vacation every time you plop yourself down in front of the tv after work).
- umanwizard 7y agoNobody is bringing me hot food and as many of whatever drinks I want while I sit in my couch at home.
- rainyMammoth 7y agoTo each its own, but I will take going surfing or hiking outdoor (what I would call a mini vacation) over being in a unhealthy metallic cage with recycled sick air. It is amazing to me that Airlines marketing is that good that they convinced some people that it's enjoyable to be in a plane. I fly business transpacific all the time for work and I hate it.
- asciimike 7y agoI have to fly to go do some of those activities (or for work), and I'd sure as hell be up front with amenities than hugging my knees in the back. I assume the marketing is really just to convince you they're less terrible than the (at most one) other competitor for the direct route, and aspirational for a bunch of leisure travelers who aren't going to spring for it anyways.
- CydeWeys 7y agoFun fact: The air in a plane isn't recycled. It comes from outside. The air in planes is fresher on average than your typical building. What the air on a plane is is less dense and less humid, which has its own problems, but it's not stale.
- CydeWeys 7y agoIt's pretty easy to just go to the kitchen where I have all that stuff though. I'd still rather just be at home, and have to provide my own food and drinks, than on a plane being waited on.
