Don't see how that would make a 24 hour flight go any faster.

Get there early (or pre book) a exit seat. Will give you ton's of leg room. So worth getting to the airport three (or more) hours ahead of time to get it.

Also,

As other's have said:

- Valium. One and you're out.
- Ipod
- Books

Also, most aiports have portable DVD players you can rent and then return at a different station in a different airport. Super easy and lots of move selection.

Have fun!

That's just for business class on most US-Asia flights. First will run you something more like 10k.

But business on an international flight >>>>>>> first on domestic flight.

my flight to Thailand was [censored] miserable. I'm almost 6'5 and I was in economy. i got sick on the leg from japan to thailand, likely the result of the food from chicago to japan. i think drugs that knock you out are by far the best way to go.

as for upgrading, i'd fly economy even if i had the cash for business. such a huge markup.

What is with people and portable DVD players? Save the money and play dvd's on your laptop...
