By that logic, seats shouldn&#x27;t recline on short haul flights. Nobody needs to sleep on a &lt;4 hour flight.<p>I will say sleeping on flight isn&#x27;t easy. I&#x27;ve flown a lot and have been lucky enough to be in real business class three times (British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and a budget airline) and I&#x27;ve only slept once ever in all that flying. Virgin Atlantic&#x27;s completely flat beds got me snoring (the other two airline&#x27;s &quot;almost flat&quot; chairs did nothing).
