Believe me you will sleep, sometimes not restfull but you will nod off. Lucky on my trip over to the UK and the return trip from Los Angeles in 2000 was in business class ( courtesy of friend high up in Qantas at the time ) . Last trip over to the UK in 2011 was in economy but a friend who worked for Qantas frequent flyers booked us down the back of the plane and told us the flight was under sold so once we were on just spread out in a row in the middle towards the back, i had the whole back row to myself so it was very easy to sleep on that trip, Also remember when we were coming into Heathrow it was like landing on a carpet, the best softest, smoothest landing i have ever encountered.I respect all our moderators here. Past present and even future. Always have done and always will do a wonderful job.

If I get around to Japan - if I survive the long haul to the UK and there's enough money saved up - I plan to do the standard places there like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Miyajima Island, Nara etc. Sounds all very typical but since it will be my first time and all.

I just put on the provided pyjamas then get a flight attendant to put the mattress on my seat before laying it flat so I can bed in between dinner and breakfast.

It depends on which capital city you are flying from or via.
It's 6 hours direct from Brisbane to Denpasar or if you are coming from Canberra you need to fly to Melbourne or Sydney for a connecting flight. Those are in the 8 to 9 hour range.
I've never been myself but have been to Thailand back in the 90's. I prefer to visit cold climates with museums, galleries etc as I'm biased towards our very own eastern suburbs water, beaches, bays and cliff walks."Be good enough to forgive people but don't be stupid enough to trust them again."

You will have a great time in Japan. I go there a lot because my wife is Japanese but it really is a good country to travel around. The language barrier is tough but if you are patient Japanese people are always helpful. You mentioned you know some Japanese so that will come in handy. Its also a very safe place where you don't need to overly worry about your safety.
