re: #287 Vicious Babushka

I flew business class for the first time in my life, on my latest trip. The advantages are you get to check more free luggage (this was important because of all the stuff we brought for my daughter), get priority boarding (which Zedushka gets anyway because he is disabled) and wider seats that recline all the way back.

Is it worth paying double the price of a coach ticket? I wouldn’t. My mom paid for the upgrade because she takes a business-class vacation every year, with my sister, and I have never gone with them.

For my trip to Malaysia last year we flew business class for the LA - Taipei - KL leg of the trip. Given that it’s 10+ hours in the air being squeezed into coach would have probably killed me.

On the way back I went from business class into LA to coach for the flight from LA to Chicago and then Chicago to Philadelphia. No space, can’t sleep (or even really doze) in near vertical position, and got my knees amputated by the jackass ahead of me fully reclining his seat at speed the moment we reached altitude.

My personal opinion is that the reclining range of airline seats needs to be severely limited even compared to the current range.
