+1. Unless I am departing from the west coast or flying deep in the Middle East from the East Coast slumming it in Economy is no issue for me to Europe. I have slept fine on UA’s and AA’s Premium Economy product so this wouldn’t be an issue for me on RI. All things considered meal service likely would eat up 1 1/2 - 2 hours of your sleep time anyway going to KEF.
