Of course the in-flight box lunch and dinner was $5 each. Yummy too.
Kidding aside though -- Transpacific flights will wear anyone out -- I'm on the east coast. Dread it --

Fortunately, only did Torrejón to Palermo on a C130. Those net seats are not the best of accommodations. And, we did not get fed. The C-5A from Okinawa to Travis was much better. Just like a civilian airliner, except sitting backwards.
Seriously, if you fly transPacific try to get on an A380. Comfortable and plenty of room to walk around. A good design.
