Not been my experience as a passenger for the last 5-6 years. Lucky to have sat in D1 numerous times and outside of the scripted first service, international service is just as lackluster as the domestic product. Sat on numerous 10+ hour flight that had zero water offers outside of the initial service. Pursers are struggling with FAs not doing their expected jobs.

side note: Had an annoying flight to HND in the first row of D1 that somehow two FAs talked loudly the entire time they weren’t in the bunk, I was honestly curious you could talk about anything that long without long pauses. Would have been upset paying $10K to listen to that while trying to sleep.
