I'm not sure what line of work you are in - but the last thing I want to do after being on a plane for 14 hours is get into a serious business negotiation. This is why I am not a fan at all of the proposed new route SFO-SIN - arriving early morning and then going to work in SIN doesn't work for me at all... I can;t imagine anyone being at the top of their game after a flight like that - sounds good in theory bit anyone that travels regularly knows that isn't true...
