In 2012 I had a 14 hour layover in Singapore so I booked a stay at the airport hotel and had a great rest, got to shower and have a sleep before my next flight which was such a life saver. For me it breaks up the flying, but the downside is it takes a day away from the holiday and costs a little extra to stay at the airport.
The cheapest flights I've had from here was $1100 AUD and that was flying with AirAsia, and I will NEVER, EVER do that again. I've never had such an uncomfortable, disappointing flight. I'd rather pay the extra $300 or so and be slightly more comfortable and have better entertainment and edible meals than go through AirAsia again.

I can relate. I find it very difficult to sleep on a flight also. I've loaded my surface up with movies and TV shows to keep me occupied.
I am hoping that the seats are much more comfortable this time around. It's my first time flying Premium Economy with JAL. My boyfriend is taller and bigger than me, and he was so uncomfortable last time.

This will be my 4th time in Japan and I am really excited and can't wait to land ^_^ Those 15 hrs I spend on the airplane are really nothing compared to the excitement and the whole experience. Very much worth it~
Keep in mind I am nearly 2m tall and sitting in a very small seat is hell for me  Wherever you're travelling you'll need a place to stay and money to spend 
I think us Europeans are quite lucky when it generally comes to the length of flights to different corners of the world. After all when you're crossing more than 10 000 kms you're not going to stay there for a day or so and get back... |
DAMN THAT'S TALL! lol
I gotta say, I fly direct whenever possible. Sometimes the time you save is worth it. Traveling can be draining!
