I see 2007 as being much the same as this year - planes, trains and automobiles for most of the year.
I am one of the lucky people who sleep ANYWHERE, fuck I sleep that little in normal life (and I usually don't sleep more than a couple of hours a day at any show), I am almost narcoleptic if you can sit my ADHD ridden ass still for 5 minutes or more.
For that reason, I usually fly coach. As a Gold Frequent Flyer, I generally get pretty well looked after and generally have no complaints.
Last year, I did fly Business to Phoenix Forum. I slept 12 1/2 of the 13 hour flight, had NO meals and did NOT get to use the service at ALL !!! That sucked - if I fly Business, I want service, service, service.
I have a bucketload of points of course, and I do occasionally upgrade a leg here and there.
Luckily for me I quite enjoy traveling, but I do base myself in the States between shows where possible as the long haul shit does fuck you up after a while.
