Just the business class would be way beyond anything I've ever encountered.

I,like many Freepers,have flown many times in my life...including in recent years.Among those many flights have been a few that were 14+ hours long.I've never paid for a First Class (or Business Class) ticket but I've gotten several courtesy upgrades to Business Class.

I can honestly say that if I was worth a billion I'd never fly anything more than Business Class and even then I'd only do so on the really long flights.I have no problem tolerating 6 hours in Coach.

Others will disagree of course.

Keep this in mind while waiting for your beating while flying coach on United.

I was last on a flight in 2002.

One thing that isn't mention is that the A380 is turning into something of a turkey.Only a few airlines fly them and there hasn't been a single order in almost 2 years.

The 777,787 and the A350 are the long haul aircraft of the future.

Some company here is building supersonic airliners again.

All I see is me worrying about bed bugs after I paid 20 grand for a ticket

That's for one passenger. Two can be connected for a bigger bed and to make it more of a suite.

No floor to ceiling walls? That is going to be a noisy flight.

LOL!
Not until I figure out how to turn it back on immediately.
There isn't any "news" worth reading that I need to pay for. Not today. Not ever.

Moving Right Along...

I rode Singapore Air, a 787 from Houston to Singapore; lovely aircraft. Lovely flight.

I believe even the 737MAX will now get you to Europe...assuming one wants to feel like a piece of Norwegian wood.

The 787 and the A350 are the only two jumbos that I haven't flown.Everything I've read suggests that they're both nice machines.

Not too much - although I’ve always felt that Business Class for long flights (10+ hours) were worth the money for a business person who needed to be ready to go on arrival. I will admit I also felt it was a bit of a perk that helped offset the inconvenience, lost personal time, having to stay over weekends to get lower fares, etc that were often imposed on me as a business traveler. But in fairness, if I had to write that check rather than my company or client, I might have felt differently.

Sing Air was always at the top of the luxury list, but this is really excessive for business travel. But hey, it’s a free country (sort of)...

In order to prevent problems my doctor has ordered me to spend as little time as possible in my seat during a flight.That's difficult particularly during long flights.Last year we flew from Johannesburg to Boston with a two hour layover in Dubai.I spent much of that time in the galley trying to pick up a stew! :-)
