Business for the longer flight and first for the second. It's the 12 hour flight she's worried about. Her plan was to sleep through it, coming back is especially important because with the time difference she departs Maui on a Monday and gets home Wednesday.

I hope the company/someone-other-than-you is paying for it then!!!

My boss was a skinflint when it came to transatlantic flights back in the days when we were allowed to travel. I went to Dallas three times in economy... As long as you're in business, even in the pre-flat bed days, you can sleep fairly well. Each time I got on to the 777 I passed a colleague from another department settling into their business class seat - they all said they had no problem sleeping on the largely overnight trip back. The gits!

She and her partner are paying for it, it'll be a trip of a lifetime. After all you only get a honeymoon once.
