Coach or Bust

This may be the first year since 1998 that I'm not attending McDonald's Worldwide convention in Orlando. No business seats are available using mileage awards and there's aren't any upgradeable fares. So, if I want to go, I believe I'm going to have to fly coach. And, as I stated before moving to Europe, I won't fly home unless I'm in business. It's not that I'm picky, I just don't like to fly. But then again, I'm starting to realize I don't sleep on the plane anyway and the food in business doesn't appeal that much more to me than what's available in the rear. So, why not fly coach? I could buy an extra battery for my computer and watch movies on my own time. Other than that, would there really be a big difference? And because we get an allowance from McDonald's for flying, I'd really be paying myself to fly home. More money for my Koi pond.
