It makes sense that if you spend longer onboard, it's got to be more comfortable.

  No, European short-haul is uniquely not comfortable. European business class for example, is often just a triple economy-row seat and maybe the middle seat is blocked off. This is different from, say, American business, which is not great when comparing globally, but is at least a bigger seat with more seat pitch.

  This is not really true for most long haul flights though, even the ones to Asia if you take economy class. At this point you are just paying for the speed of intercontinental travel over oceans and unstable regions, which obviously buses and trains can't compete with currently. The only situation where a flight is notably more comfortable than a bus or train is business class and first class on a handful of long haul routes of certain Asian airlines.
