I just read that wi-fi will be available on the flight so that should maybe make the time fly by faster? Thoughts?
If it's 747, it's marginally worse than other alternatives. But the main source of pain is a 12+ hour flight in economy.
Spring for E+. If it's on the 747, spring for E+ only if you can get an exit row seat (33, 44) because the difference isn't that big.
Bring your own reading material instead of relying on movies. Buy a couple drinks. Sleep.
