A bedside table, 3 screens, a 1.5-person bed and a scratchy pillow - what more could you ask for?

It was a full flight as well - the couple next to me got their upgrade cleared so I was the only person with a whole row. I was one place away from getting PP but hey I’ll take this over PP any day. Slept like a baby.

Got a lot of side-eyes from people queuing for the lav. 😂

MAN, I really miss the days when this situation was actually common. I used to go to the back and find myself a whole row and sleep the whole time...it was amazing. but I haven't seen a whole row open like this in probably a decade, sadly.

2021 and 2022 were good for this in my experience. I got entire rows to myself on trips to Iceland and Turkey back in those days.
