Why would anyone want to fly as SLF in a
a 747? *First class is nice, but coach just
plain sucks. *I've flown to Tokyo and London
in one and it was the least tolerable jetliner
I've ever flown in.

I agree.
Last weekend from Houston to Amsterdam in a 747 (8 hours +), that
hurts.
The seating in my C150 is less cramped than in that thing.(And the
onboard food is better too)
