I know this might sound weird to those of you who just love the seat design/degree of recline of Delta's BizElite, but I am unimpressed. First, on the outbound flight, I tried every possible combination of positions trying to find one that was comfortable enough so I could sleep - I never did. I was shifting every 10 minutes, mostly because my legs never seemed to be in the right place in relation to the rest of my body, causing cramping, numbness, i.e., a need to shift my body. It wasn't that the seat wasn't roomy enough (I'm 5'4", 125 lbs.), but the design of the seat/footrest just didn't cut it for me. It finally occurred to me on the flight back that, generally, if I'm tired enough, I have no problem falling asleep sitting up (e.g., on my sofa watching TV ), so I refrained from reclining and voila! Slept like a bambino...so much for the fancy BizElite seats!
