Asheville to Johnesburg was no hassle and actually easier than we had psyched ourselfs down for. We are glad we had traded in our frequent flyer miles for a busniness class upgrade, but intially we were very concerned. The adjoining business class seats on a 777 are orientated like the legs of a V with you being one of the legs. That puts your heads near each other only when you are 3/4 way inclined. At 100% inclined you are down behind a paritiion to separate the two seats. However, in the V orientation the seats do incline 100% to be level producing better sleep than partially inclined. Good news, was that instead of 19 hours of flight it was "only" 15 hours, nicely split up to 3 hrs after take off to serve dinner meal, 9 hours to sleep, then 3 hours for landing meal. We actually arrived feeling much betther than flying to Europe. We arrived at 5PM SA time but by after dinner we were ready to hit the hay.
