過去のペナン出張では、シンガポール航空の深夜便エコノミー2便を使い、時間とコストを削減。断続的な仮眠では、その後に響いた。

今回は北京経由のビジネスクラス。割安価格でフラットシートはぐっすり快適。目覚めるとホーチミン上空。シンガポール到着時は疲労が残るも、エコノミーより元気。移動時間より睡眠重視の選択だ。

On my previous Penang trip, I took two consecutive Singapore Airlines’ midnight economy flights to save costs. Some brief naps made subsequent work difficult.

This time, I chose business class via Beijing at a reasonable price. The flat-bed seat provided perfect sleep. Waking up over Ho Chi Minh City, I felt refreshed. Though slightly tired in Singapore, I was in better shape than after economy. Quality sleep beats travel time.
