Help!
I have to travel for work to the San Francisco area (Oakland) in September for meetings on a Tue/Wed. Much as I would love to travel VS my boss has just sent an email telling us that we can fly LGW to OAK on Norwegian for <£400 going out on the Monday and returning on the Wednesday night.
First problem: I will be knackered if I travel Monday and not fit for all day meetings. I suspect they would allow me to travel over the weekend instead (not sure if I would have to cover hotel costs)
Second problem: Reviews of Norwegian long haul are pretty dire. The thought of doing 11 hours in economy fills me with dread when it sounds like they often use really old aircraft, have poor IFE (if at all) and the service is dire.
Anyone got any ideas on how I can make this a more pleasant experience?
