Despite my daft comment, I know the feeling. Once in First, always lament not being there.

However, I find CW in window seat pretty good, actually.

But since you mention the generic "Business", I should tell you what you SHOULD NOT do if you wish to simulate being in F.

1. Do not fly JQ "Business" class.
2. Do not fly in sloped-bed business class cabin.
3. Do not fly JQ "Business" class.
4. Do not fly JQ "Business" class.
5. Do not fly JQ "Business" class.


What you SHOULD do:

1. Get an extra blanket to put on the bed for extra padding.
2. Get a window seat for extra privacy.
3. Get yourself a giant, gigantic sanitary towel. The one that measures about 7'x2.5'. Put it on the bed. Honestly, F makes me laugh with that giant sanitary towel. Could they have picked a worse colour for it?



Regarding JQ "Business" class, the reason why you should not is that it's not an international business class product. It's fine as a domestic product, but it's basically like premium economy, and you can stuff your chance of simulating flying F in J by the combination such as LH to SIN and JQ to SYD. Flat bed is a MUST for simulating flying F in J IMO!
