Rob Moore argues that business class on overnight flights saves two to three days of jet lag recovery, making it worth the cost over economy. First class offers only marginal improvements, and he dismisses Instagram flexing of first-class trips as one-off splurges people can't sustain.
It is a game changer. I would lose at least a day, if not 2 days, of flying in economy and not being able to sleep and getting there jet lagged. An upgrade into business class— business, you've got a flat bed, and I take the overnight flight and I sleep overnight. It basically saves me about 2 to 3 days of jet lag. That's worth a lot of money. I don't need to fly first. It's not that much better than business. The people who are posting on Instagram that they're flying in first, they're usually the broke people who've got it as a one-off.
