I mean that sounds like exactly the intended use of Business Class tickets to be honest. It allowed you to get proper sleep on the plane during your travels so you didn't arrive into Australia absolutely exhausted and didn't need extra days away from your streaming business to recover from travelling. That's why they can charge so much for it - because they know you're paying for business time.
