I can’t focus on a plane anyways. If I’m up at 4am for a flight, I’ve earned a nap or a move for a couple of hours. The firm and client will get theirs, they always do.

5’7” can sleep and/or work comfortably in any class - one of the few benefits of being short, gotta celebrate it

I’m not 6’2” but have been wondering the same thing. Motion sickness anyone?

I either don't bother or put the laptop on my lap. The folding table is useless.

I’m 6’2” and my goto is:

6’0 here. I only sit in extra legroom rows. If I can’t get one of those, I generally don’t work during the flight
