Get to your destination in half the time (why?)
Have you ever flown across the Pacific?
“Have you ever flown across the Pacific?”
Quite a few times. My favorite was leaving Guam on Pan Am back in the late 70s when the cabin had a few movie screens and you had the rubber tubes up to your ears. My seat was close to the screen and I didn’t have an eyeshade with me. The audio on the movie broke. The stews graciously announced “There’s no audio, but we are going to play the movie for you anyway.” So I had the damned flickering light of the movie in my eyes for two hours so I couldn’t get to sleep. I still remember that great trip.
I fly Hawaii to Arizona and back several times a year, and the flights in coach sucks.
But I cannot justify paying for 1st class, and likely not for any upcoming SST either.
So I writhe for 6+ hours
