Re: While booking an international air-travel trip..
yes i travel a lot internationally but mostly for work…and luckily get business class (well most of the times)…but paid by the company.
all i can say, anything above 6 hours…and if there is any chance you can get B-class, pleaseeeee go for it. Do not underestimate it. Use credit card points, miles, anything. You will see the difference once you experience it. Your body will coup much better with stress and anxiety. You will sleep better and will be fresh especially when you fly Monday nite from JFK, get to Europe Monday AM and then be in the office all day long.
I recently went to Korea, japan and Thailand…all B-class but had to take coach Seoul to JFK (15 hours…)…it was horrible. very painful. I am a tall guy 6’ 2…on coach for 15 hours…it is painful. You have to take sleeping pills to knock yourself out
Same goes for Middle east which is 14+ hr flight
used to book through travel agents for my private trips…not anymore. Now i just use internet even for Pakistan.
