Is it worth the extra miles for sleeping on a red-eye? It's available with saver..

Its worth the extra miles for sleeping, but its just a bigger seat, not sure if that means sleep, definitely doesnt for me.

I can't sleep any better in domestic first than domestic coach. I never redeem for domestic first.

I can barely get ten seconds of sleep in economy. I've never tried in domestic first and on a red eye I'll be desperate for sleep... Don't the seats recline more? Do any airlines have better seats?

Fly via LAX, SFO, or IAH on a plane with lie-flat.
Otherwise it may recline a little more, but not worth double the price in my book.

+1 My only exception is to Hawaii. Given the long flight I feel the extra room helps.

Domestic f is a nice recliner, so compare to shabbes table, can you sleep at the table or only on the couch... The seat is not like a bed, but I forsure sleep much better reclining and wider

Depends on the aircraft. On a 737 I wouldn't bother, but for anything else for sure.

It reclines a whopping 7 out of 180 degrees.  Personally I actually sleep better in coach than in domestic first as I put a pillow on the tray table, though that only works if I'm utterly and truly exhausted.

Ugh this is bringing back bad memories....A zoned out mother with two rowdy kids behind me... I doze off...one of the kids takes their apple juice and spills it over my head...mother shrugs.. the joys of travel.

Never seen that and hope I never will. It's disgusting.
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.
