And of course, like all of us who use AS on Trancons, I hope that they might, some day, listen to all of us and carve out a sub fleet of lie flats! A man can dream….
Given that I was the only F pax to YYZ... The projection (at least for my flight) was a wee bit off
.
As for lie flats, i have recently taken to flying AS to JFK and DL (and occasionally AA) on the return, if the price is similar, which it often is on the last flight out. I just feel a lot better after what can be 7 hours (from boarding to disembarkation) in that seat ... Lying back and watching something on a real screen, maybe a little nap, and greatly reduced chance of unintentional slouching back pain...
...Not to mention the flatware, which doesn't bend when I look at it.
