Helpful, entertaining piece. I shared it with a friend;
“That’s for sharing the jet lag article – everything is spot on. As a public employee, I fly coach. Yet, as a bucket list trip, I paid for premium economy seats to help with jet lag. Right before leaving, New Zealand Air offered bidding to business. I lowballed 1000 per seat for the outbound flight (seats are typically $5000 one-way), and I got it. It’s the afternoon of arrival after 16 hours of flying, yet we feel somewhat alive. I flew economy when I did my two teaching gigs in Hong Kong, and this $2000 was the best money I've spent in ages. Being horizontal during a long fight is dreamy.”
Other friends going there too said they simply couldn’t afford the pod.
I have a business trip to South Korea coming up and it would be an eight thousand $ splurge difference. Can’t see doing it. Can’t afford doing it. As someone who yesterday had to get eight injections in the family jewels, I feel like I am primed to withstand any pain life has to offer, on and off board.
Wish I could catch one of your Perth shows! Re studying the seating maps like medical charts… I can never figure them out! Then again I can’t usually decipher a medical chart. What have you learned about Premium Economy??!
I don't travel. At least not very far or very often. But due to my poor sleep habits I think I know a hint of what jet lag is like.It's a rare occurrence if I go to sleep in the same 24 hr day I awoke in.
I'm sure it'll catch up to me at some point. Leastwise that's what the internet tells me.

Break a leg and break some hearts.

Trying to decide if I’d rather part with eight grand or get jabbed in the jewels.
I think I’m my current position I’m going with the jabs.
