If you’re keen on figuring out whether the seat on a flight is fully flat or at an angle, follow these steps: So when I head back to New Zealand to visit family over Christmas, I try to go business class with one of the airlines offering a lie flat bed. Which results in being a brain-dead zombie for 30 hours and then struggling with jetlag for a week. Throw in the fact that being 6’4″ (193cm) means that I never sleep on long haul flights when I’m in economy.
It’s usually expensive, invariably uncomfortable and most of the time you end up losing at least a day. So the choice of a different class of travel from economy usually boils down to the decision of whether or not the additional comfort is worth the additional cost. Here at etrip we are always interested in alternatives, because when it comes to travel, we’re choosing the experience and cost of one particular destination over all the alternate ways to spend that money and time.
