eheh well no I don't think it's just that. Again, IMHO it's all relative.
If you'd have to spend 10 hours in that capsule hotel...I bet having a flat-bed vs. just a reclining chair would make a huge difference.
It's a flat bad, on a airplane where you have to be for 10 hours traveling thousands of miles.
Again all relative, even the economy seat is just a chair, but a chair on a plane is better than standing up for 10 hours, or on a bar stool.
Then of course I agree the experience of premium cabin also consists in a lot of disillusionment about status and entitlements
