Having just done a close to 20 hour flight (sort of - 6 hours CPT to ADD, just enough time to go to another plane, 14 hours ADD to IAD via a technical stop in Dublin), I've got to say just how absolutely miserable it is to fly for a long period of time on a full flight. Particularly if you're taller than 6'2" (~1.9m) and you have broader shoulders, you're going to be massively uncomfortable.
Yeah, I want a cheap flight, but if there was a small perk where I could physically lie flat for ~15 minutes at some point during the flight, I would pay for that. I haven't been able to really deload my spine for pushing 48 hours (aside from some psuedo-yoga stretching while standing) due to further connections and layovers and it sucks.
International flight is an amazing, painful miracle of science and technology. Maybe SpaceX's BFR will make it better :-) But I highly doubt we'll ever see a reasonably priced long-haul flight with a gym available to us peasants.
