In 1971 I flew YVR-Tokyo (airport code ?) in a stretch DC-8 in Economy. Plane had about 30 pax so curled up for a nice nap. A year later, I flew SYD-YVR for 20 hours in a FULL B707, including 2 refuel stops. Economy was tough - because of no legroom (I am 6'5"). The Canadian Pacific flight ran out of beer between Hawaii and YVR, because "the Aussies drank it all" - and it was $1 a can back in 1972!
Economy is still tough, so I now fly PE or Business - for the comfort and better seat pitch. Narrow body, single isle would be fine by me in PE or Business on a TATL / TPAC flight.
