Good for you. I'm not like that, and many other people are not like that as well. I've done the 16-hour flights in Y for personal trips and I'm a mess afterwards. However it's a personal trip so I can take my time to recover. For a business trip I don't usually have that luxury. My employer recognises that.
We also charge our travel expenses back to clients so it's not really an expense for us.
