[quote=Anonymous]You know OP, consider how you are Flying V just the time.

I'm well travelled but freaked out about my summer flying with my 2 teens using points flying from IAD to LAX then to TPE Taiwan and finally Shanghai.  On the way back we flew Beijing to Tokyo stopping for a wk before LAX with a loooongass layover before IAD.

What I learned was that it's important to be comfortable - we flew an Asian airline preferred v Econ but not business but it was really comfortable flight.  Our layovers were long but it wasn't a bad trip and our jet lag was better handled than when we flew direct from IAD to Rome the previous summer.  It was like 3x the time but it was 3x as easy.

I account for that with a couple reasons: flying west is typically easier than flying east.  Don't ask me why but flying west has traditionally been easier for me regardless of time. Going east is typically harder - so consider maybe doing a layover in the way back :)

Also, the flights were comfortable enough we slept.  Flying Delta in the way home preferred was OK but both my kids said it was just more comfortable on EVA going to Asia.  They never sleep but we all did manage to sleep which was so helpful.

Again, use your point or spend the extra money you would to layover on the better seats flying and it may make a huge difference.  [/quote]
