Good point thanks.
Thing is I'm at that age now where when I get in all I want is a bite to eat and a good sleep.

Does that mean the 787 in Club is more comfortable than other aircraft or is there some other reason?

I see what you mean, nothing worse than arriving into the USA sometimes and then that wait at border control.

That's the thing, we usually end up getting an early flight down, breakfast in the lounge, meet up with a colleague or one of my sons then over to the lounge for lunch after shopping and make a day of it to catch up.

I actually quite like ATL, been in and out of there a few times as well as IAH, DFW etc. and wouldn't rate it any worse than the others.
