Are the economy seats tolerable for that long?
It depends I guess.
When I catch a long flight, I just sleep most of it. Really hard to sleep on economy seats, but I travel with a full backpack, and lean forward on that for support as I sleep, it's not as hard on our neck that way. You can add in extra blankets to pad the bag to the desired height. Add in earplugs, sleeping mask, and the flight goes by pretty quickly most of the time.
Btw. I'm 5'9 and 190lbs. Or 174cm and 87kg for the normal folks, so it's not as if I'm a tiny kid.
Half a bottle of sleeping pills and it will feel like I teleported
I've honestly thought about doing it that way, but never have. I'm scared of becoming addicted to, or dependant on, the pills to sleep.
