Default If you're not too tall

If you're not too tall, I found a way to be very comfortable.

3 seats coach, together. It's cheaper than one seat business class. You can book good fares a month or so in advance, unlike business which is astronomical unless booked two or more months in advance. And you can lie completely flat, and few airlines have business class seats that recline completely flat.

This last tidbit is what really made it work for me: I bought a memory foam mattress topper, folded it four times, wrapped it in a sheet (sewed shut), and it fit perfectly over the three seats (you want full size, not twin or queen). It rolls up easily, and I bungee corded it to a rolling duffle bag to shlep it around. Stewardesses came up to ask where I bought it.

Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you want more details about making the foam cushion.
