I can’t sleep sitting up, which is the main reason I don’t find PE appealing: even with an empty seat next to you, you can’t ‘use’ it.
I flew Y for the first time in 6 years a while ago. Although I had three seats to myself on the first leg and even 4 seats on the second (on a A380) and therefore could lie down, I still could not sleep. Just too uncomfortable with all the bumps, plus too much going on around me.
Fortunately I don’t fly that much anymore so I can still fly J or F (the latter occasionally).
