I am so upset due to new company policy to reduce cost, one of the item is change all long distance flight from previously business to economy class. Understand that traveling in such way will be not comfortable, it's fine if we travel for vacation since we will relieve and relaxing once arrived in our destination, but we must straight away working or at least the following day after arrival,if we have business travel. I just want to check whether this policy only be implemented for staff level or our top management as well, since they will have long traveling time compare with us. What do you think? How the best way to enjoy travel in economic class when have long distance flight like that?

Hello,hmm,you should not upset now. the best way to enjoy travelin economic class is to cherish a good mood to conversition wwith others,play phonegame,watch movie or to imagine the next way when you get off plane and how to enjoy a highly quality trip. in a word,one people do not cherish a badly mood when he enjoy good time````

I have met business travelers in economy class and they were happy enough. However if a person gets used to going in business class he or she will feel miserable and uncomfortable in economy class. I travel for my own interest in different countries and not for my job. I always buy economy flights but coming home from the Maldives I got a free upgrade to business class. Wow! It was on the most happy and enjoyable flight in my lifetime. Also on that that trip I went on a return trip on a tiny sightseeing type of plane. I could see the tropical islands and reef. Wow! I have had long haul economy flights like London to Cape Town, Vancouver to London, Singapore to London and Madrid to Bogota. That last trip was in fact London to the coast of Colombia via the capital city of Spain and the capital city of Colombia. There is not much leg room on an economy class. The seat can feel uncomfortable after 4 or 5 hours. I went to 12 hour, 14 year and total flight time over 24 hours flights. Good luck

Economy class is never enjoyable or fun. The best thing you can do is pay more for an emergency exit seat... I don't find that fair, if you have to travel a lot for work. But, hey, times are tough. I've taken only a few 10 hour flights between the US and Sweden, which stunk quite a bit. But - it's not like I travel to those kinds of places very often... But if it's for business, that doesn't seem right at all if that's something you'll be doing on a continual basis.
