I've always been surprised how much you all hate coach. I guess perhaps you don't get comfortable but I manage to stay pretty comfortable even in coach seats. For me, its on demand video that really makes the big difference.

I have recently flown intercontinental on:

NH C class 777
LX Y Class A333
NW Y class 747

I might go as far as saying that I would take 2 of those LX Y class flights vs the C on ANA and the NW 747. The LX flights were pretty comfy and had on demand video. LX Y vs NH C is basically sitting in a small slightly uncomfortable seat for several hours and watching tv while having a crappy meal and two beers versus sitting on a lazyboy and watching tv for several hours and having a couple of fantastic meals and a couple cocktails.

Either way I am just sitting in a chair and watching movies for ten hours. How much can I really pay for two good meals, two cocktails, and a comfy chair. The difference between my NW flight and LX flight however was being entertained by movies for ten hours or being bored out of my mind.
