I agree about the NS vs change plane deal. I cannot sleep well on a plane either. Took business to Milan and back from Paris. Might have dozed off a few times but my brain cannot shut off on a plane. Also it is hard for my 6'4" frame to get comfy.
My longest flight was a 12 hr gig from LHR - LAX. I could not wait to get off. it was just too bloody long. I do not think I could do another 5 hrs on top of that.
