zipair, 787-8, and we opted for their version of biz, which they call 'full flat'--certainly not the pampering and freebies that biz class would usually get you, but that added space was far better than economy. 9.5hrs going, ~11hrs on the return.
Actually, it was windy at narita, so the pilot opted for a touch and go, and by going around that added ~35min to our arrival/flight time, by the time we looped back around into landing order, etc. As former ATC, I've seen this a lot, and have experienced it on both commercial and military planes, and this is one of the most practiced things from the early hours of getting the most basic private license.
But the wife was nervous--so a situation where I'm not supposed to make jokes or wise cracks about it.
