You're not counting the time required to recuperate from a long flight in Y!
Very true, oft forgotten factor in these calculations.

I can never forget it. I've had to travel Y a couple of times NYC-TLV in recent years, and it's been a disaster to recuperate from (not to mention the one time there was a bochur from a certain Yeshiva that desperately needed a shower, and even worse, had some serious odor issues from his feet, and decided to remove his shoes).

I have friends question why I am willing to pay an extra $1,000-$1,500 for J, after all it's only a few hours... but when I land, I need to be able to function, both at work and as a husband and father. DW OTOH refuses that I book her in J when she travels alone. At least I managed to convince her to get a prescription for Ambien for her flights.

How tall (or short) is he?

I think physical dimensions make a big difference in how a person is affected. Also flights between US-UK are generally 4-5 hours shorter than US-TLV.

It's a mentality. They'll wear the same hat for 15 years & stand in the store & beg for a $5 discount.

to the uk it's not so bad even if you go with a stop in Europe it's not that bad, the big problem is the 12 hours direct
