Just returned from Tokyo. It was a disaster. I had bought a business ticket with Finnair asking for precise information about the possibility to go to the bathroom (with their little chair they have on the plane) and to be able to lay down. The informations they gave me were all wrong. I couldn’t be seated in business and they downgraded in economy. There was not enough space to be able to got o the bathroom. My assistants used a pan to help me but it was very uncomfortable not only for me but also for the people nearby. It would be wise for you to ask, to think and to organize well before your departure.
