Could I please have some advise from some people who have physically sat in sky beds.

I am debating about sending Mrs Puchu to Edinburgh next year using QF.

Contemplating ponying up the points to ask for a J ticket.

My worry is if the booking is successful, whether or not Mrs P will be able to cope on a longhaul in a skybed. I've watched the demos and looked at the pictures of seats in both classes, but just can't make up my mind. Skybeds look lovely and long, (which would please me), but a little narrow and an odd angle, which might trouble her on such a long haul.

Mrs P is entering a more mature phase in life and, how shall I say...is built very low to the ground and definitely for comfort, not speed. She also has dodgy hips and back which are not going to improve.


Assuming the J booking is possible, would the slope on the bed and the narrowness of the Skybed seat cause her problems?

Would we be just as well off saving the points, asking for a spot near a bunch of empty seats in economy and putting up the armrests (which is what she normally does if she wants to sleep).

If she does get J class (I'm plat, so it may be possible) and her back starts playing up during the SIN-LHR sector, would the FA's be willing to move her to a flat first bed or back to empty economy seats?

Also, does anyone know how busy the PER-SIN-LHR run normally is in April?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
