I always have problems sleeping on a plane, but always managed at least 4-6 hours of sleep on a 14-16 hours flight.. The heat's always unbearable though..
*lol* No idea. My only long-haul trip on an Airbus was an on A300 from JFK to LHR. The main thing I've found is that on Boeing widebodies, being near a widow exit makes things a little colder and being near a door makes it a good bit colder.
Well my experience was on the A345 and A300, and they are warm if not hot.. I guess it also depends on the person..
Well, dress to please yourself first; I'll also be in the "comfort" column, but if other people actually like dressing up (and assuming it's still less comfortable for them - I'm told not everyone finds suits as uncomfortable as I do) then they've got every right to do so. They just shouldn't expect the rest of us to do the same.
That's true.. I particularly like dressing up, but on a plane I tried to have some common sense particularly when I'm flying long haul..
