Sleep pods on airplanes? Would you be willing to pay extra for this?
Started my digital nomad life a little while ago and decided to go to SEA via OZ. I booked a one way ticket from LAX to MEL (BTW date range and region search is great for finding deals). I grabbed a beer in LAX before the flight to knock me out and slept 8 hours and there's still another 8 to go. You're basically stuck in a metal tube for 16 hours trying to sleep. Just kept thinking there had to be a better way. Imagine an A380 full of sleep pods instead of seats. I'd be willing to pay a little extra for this, not business class prices but maybe 25-50% more than economy. Who else would be willing to pay extra for this?

Reality check on prices...
ANZ is planning on sleep pods for about $400 for a 4 hour slot.

Still leaves you with 12hrs in the tube. Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged on an ebook reader is an alternate solution to pass time.
