If not in lie-flat J, they are miserable. Even regular domestic F is horrible IMO and in Y no shot (I can't sleep sitting up to save my life).

If in lie-flat J, I like them in theory but always find them way shorter than I'd like. When traveling for business I suck it up and deal with it, they are a huge time saver and I typically can scrap together enough sleep to be fine the next day.

For pleasure I'd only do it if the price was too hard to ignore (and I'd likely be in Y for personal unless a special occasion or upgrade)

I need at least a 7-8 hour flight to reap the benefits of something overnight which eliminates all US redeyes and puts me right on the edge for TATL overnights.
