Premium Economy for Day Flight vs Night Flight

[nutnfroot]

I am a rubbish sleeper on planes. Doesn’t matter if I’m in economy or up front, I just never properly sleep.

I fly transatlantic a few times a year, usually for about a week. I usually have a day between landing and going back to work.

I prefer to upgrade the outbound day flight because I am awake/eyes are open so I’m more aware of being cramped in economy. I enjoy the food more then.

DP prefers to upgrade return overnight, which is usually about 1.5 times the outbound upgrade. I don’t see the point because I’m half dozing and the flight on the way home can be just 7 hours. On the way out it’s easily 9 hours.

I can only sleep in Business Class. PE doesn’t nothing for me and I would rather just go Economy. Even in BC I can only sleep if it’s bedtime. Having said that a fully flat bed is just fab. Not a recline or angled seat- for me it must be totally flat.

Also I love the treat of BC and don’t want to miss anything.

I’m never going in economy again. The end.

I’d rather be in PE overnight because I’ll usually get 4-5 hours of sleep that way. My last long haul in economy I only slept 1 hour, if that.

My next long haul will be likely a 15 hour flight (coming off a 3h one) and I’m definitely upgrading because I can imagine it being hell in economy.

Are you flying from UK, if so I find upgrade prices are cheaper for the return flight?

I think both ways are shit in economy. Not much help I know.

I flew economy on a night flight after 7 years of only doing business class (work paid) and I have to say it was hell. I didn't sleep a wink.

God I love business class.

I'd prefer the day flight as if probably be wanting to keep ordering food and drink and you can't really do that at night without disturbing people!
I don't really have that much issue with sleeping so I'd be fine in economy for that.
