I’m mostly over my jet lag now, having hit the pillow in my hotel room in Rome at 4pm last night after a duty bound walk to the Collosseum followed by a late lunch at a cheap and cheerful restaurant just off the Via Cavour.
I must say that breaking up the trip with a stay in Singapore did not really help. True, one night of decent sleep was good, but as the second flight out was at 3am the following night, could not exactly cause me to board the flight with a few extra hours of sleep.
What sort of helped a little was the extra room and reclinement in Premium Economy. I am not one of those lucky people who can sleep sitting upright, so long haul flights hurt. But at least I was able to doze fitfully during the 12 hour flight from Singapore to Rome.
That does not mean that long haul does not suck, and I am not in premium economy on the way home so I’m dreading that long haul.
Lost For Words! 
Flying premium economy is like upgrading from a cramped roller coaster to a luxurious, lazy river ride.
I also get to stretch my legs without feeling like I am practicing yoga in a shoebox.
The benefit of reclining a seat without causing a domino effect of angry passengers behind me is also not to be forgotten.
Why settle for economy when you can soar through the sky in comfort and enjoy that extra bag of pretzels. Ah, the glamorous life!

Very true. I will consider upgrading again on the way back – and perhaps seeing if business class is available at a reasonable price
