Business Class is class

My flight from Chicago to New Delhi was 14 hours long and I was worried that it would be awful, so I used some extra miles to upgrade to business class.

It turned out the flight was almost empty so I had a whole row to myself.  Not that it matters because these international business class seats are a marvel of technology.  I think I spent the first hour just converting it back and forth from a seat to a bed and moving around the individual parts and laughing.  I would have been embarassed for myself but no one was really around.

I watched Sunshine Cleaning which was OK, ate my multi-course dinner, turned my chair into a bed, slept for 10 hours, turned my bed into a chair, ate my breakfast and watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine.  My plane flight was pretty much indistinguishable from an evening at home.  I’m a fan.  And in a standard tradition of mine which started with Sideways on the flight to Africa, I missed the end of the movie because the plane landed.  I think it’s a good sign.
