That's my humble opinion, but I understand we all have different priorities.

At roughly $1/minute for the entire 6-7 hour flight, I'd think long and hard before I put up the cash.
However, that proposition changes when it's a flight that's 10+ hours. Y is far less comfortable and interesting the longer the flight gets.
