Ugh, tone can be so difficult online.

I've heard and read "fear of coach" as an expression on this board and elsewhere, and thought it made a colorful title. I'm not actively afraid of flying coach. Just looking for advice after a lot of years in premium seats.

Many thanks to the people who offered serious suggestions (vs knee-jerk smackdowns). I made seating changes, remembered that my Shure earbuds come with an "earplug" attachment, and have some new ideas for prepping for the flight.
