I’m off to the airport! Today I’m flying from Atlanta to Tokyo, non-stop. Thankfully I was able to get an upgrade on this flight, so I’ll be rather comfortable for the 15 hour flight. I’ll be on a Northwest 747, in their World Business Class. They’re not “lie flat” seats, but on a plane I sleep better in a recliner anyway. No flight this long is “easy”, but I know I’ll get no sympathy from you knowing that I’ll be on the upper deck. :)
I like this route, as I get to see lots of the Canadian mountains, and I’ve even seen Mount Rainer from the air. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we’ll gave good views today, too.
Dude, business class should be a no brainer on that flight…it would be a stipulation if I’m taking a trip THAT long…
China Southern Airlines (the one I was subjected to this past week), has Business, Economy Business, and Economy. If I have to make this trip again (and it looks like I might), there is NO way I’m going Economy like I had to do this trip. Delta ATL to LAX economy is considerably more comfortable than CZN 14+ hour trans-Pacific economy. My back is still hurting.
