[MrAVFC2011]

long live sfflyer123!

[sfflyer123]

@MrAVFC2011 You are much too kind! Thanks!

[MarcusLeepapi]

You are welcome. Fly safe.

[MarcusLeepapi]

Looking pretty cool..

[sfflyer123]

@MarcusLeepapi Thank you!

[MarcusLeepapi]

@sfflyer123 You are welcome..Fly safe..

[mjk0123456789]

Why do you love real salt and pepper shakers so much?!

[sfflyer123]

@mjk0123456789 It's the little things that make things luxurious. A real salt & pepper shaker, hanging up your coat, macademia nuts instead of peanuts. In the scheme of life, they're inconsequential and irrelevent. In the scheme of paying thousands of dollars for first class, they're nice little touches. Thanks!

[Deltaguy729]

Who's business class do you prefer internationally? UA's or CO's?

[sfflyer123]

@Deltaguy729 I have not flown CO business class internationally yet, so I don't know. So far, UA is great.

[jonathan97s]

Did you switch seats at the MIA-EWR leg? Great TR btw. CO has really been cutting down bigtime on their meals.

[sfflyer123]

@jonathan97s Thank you. Yes, I changed planes, so they were different seats. Thanks for the comment.

[jonathan97s]

@sfflyer123 I meant when you first boarded the 757 you sat towards the back, at the part where you showed the meal, you were sitting towards the front.

[sfflyer123]

@jonathan97s Yes, you're very observant. A couple asked me to switch seats so I obliged so that they could sit together. Good pickup!

[crumadonis]

Were you in Buiness,Economy,Or coah and whats the differnece between them??

[sfflyer123]

@crumadonis I was in domestic first class!

[mjk0123456789]

Why do you compare everything to United Airlines, what's so great about it, why not compare it to Lufthansa and try airberlin, it may not be the fanciest, but it's nice to try!

[sfflyer123]

@mjk0123456789 Good question. That's because I fly the most with United. I am a United frequent flyer, so that is the most familiar airline for me! Thanks.

[Greatshow09]

@sfflyer123 The one i'm most familiar with is delta.

[Greatshow09]

@mjk0123456789 As well as they are in a merger.

[UclaColumbia]

really hope Continental hadn't merged with United. Continental as itself is much better than United.

[sfflyer123]

@UclaColumbia It will be interesting to see what happens. My hope is that the best of both worlds will emerge.

[Ichliebegermany]

damn man these vids are nice! if had your money i wouldnt have to fly southwest haha i like their stewardess tho

[sfflyer123]

@Ichliebegermany Thank you for your kind words. Fortunately, for me, these flights are free. I can't afford to pay for them. My company flies me in business class, and if I go myself, I use my miles to upgrade to business class! Thanks for the comment!

[freewaffles666]

not to be a dick but when you keep comparing continental and united...you know they merged together right?

[sfflyer123]

@freewaffles666 not to be a dick back to you, but if you look at the date of this video, you will realize that this video was shot before the merger, right?

[freewaffles666]

@sfflyer123 im not really an airline expert so honestly no but i apologize. thanks for the videos and keep them coming.

[sfflyer123]

@freewaffles666 No worries. It's all good. Thank you for watching!

[usair97]

@sfflyer123 halol

[sfflyer123]

@usair97 Halo to you, also!

[usair97]

@sfflyer123 lol meeant to say haha lol 

[sfflyer123]

@usair97 I thought you were European. That is how they say, "hello".

[usair97]

@sfflyer123 no no no lol im from the states

[imafisher67]

Hey man i luv ur vids but how u afford all this first class flying wat is ur job ??

[sfflyer123]

@imafisher67 Thank you! I don't pay for first class. My company flies me business class, or if I fly for personal travel, I use miles.

[brothuhmuc]

so are yu black or white just wondering?

[sfflyer123]

@brothuhmuc As Michael Jackson said, "It doesn't matter if you're black or white!"

[wisnu1231]

why you didn't try AA or Virgin america, so you don't have to stop at Houston?

[sfflyer123]

@wisnu1231 because I need star alliance loyalty. they aren't star alliance.

[Midnightryder7]

In my next life i want to have your job

[sfflyer123]

@Midnightryder7 Thanks. You are too kind.

[1airplane123]

In economy meals are free but now after the merger you have to pay for them. I will never fly united

[sfflyer123]

@1airplane123 Yes, Continental will be gone, and it will all be United! What wil you fly?

[1airplane123]

@sfflyer123 anything but united I'm flying american on my next trip

[sfflyer123]

@CO738ify even in first class? thanks for your nice words!

[odugraddude]

I really enjoyed your video, I can easily say it's one of the more elegant, well thought out in-service video's on you-tube !!...Thanks !!

[sfflyer123]

@odugraddude Thank you very much. That is very nice of you to say. I am glad that you enjoyed it!

[KCBOYZ1307]

This Is My Favorite Video Out Of All Of Your Uploads... I Got To See My Home On Youtube, I Love IAH And Continental, Even Though They're Kinda Already Merged With UA, Nice Vid, Keep Em Comin

Btw, Continental Now Has Direct TV(Live TV(I Call It Direct)) On All Of Their Narrow Bodies Except 37-500's, They're Great To Have On Long Domestic Flights

[sfflyer123]

@KCBOYZ1307 Thank you for the nice comment! Direct TV is great. It makes the flight go so much more quickly. Too bad it's not free!

[KCBOYZ1307]

@sfflyer123 I Know I Wish It Was, I Know It's Free On 777's, And I Think It Is On Continental's 67's, I'm Going To HNL From IAH This Summer, It's Scheduled To Be A 767-400ER, But I'm Not Sure It'll Stay That Way Because Of The Merger

[sfflyer123]

@KCBOYZ1307 Yes, hopefully with the merger, it will be the best of both worlds: United economy plus with CO direct TV! Now, that would be traveling in style!

[KCBOYZ1307]

@sfflyer123 Wow, I Know, Thats Gonna Be The Best! Continental Is The Most Eco-Friendly Airline In The U.S., Hopefully That Stays The Same

[britoin]

hehehhe...it's so funny you always give suggestions to United..hehhe

[sfflyer123]

@britoin Yeah, it's pretty funny now, isn't it? They are now one and the same airline! I hope they just absorb the best of both airlines.

[XxMetalGorxX]

Great video dude! Might i suggest that you should put some background music in the video, or split it into some scenes of the video, keep up the good work! :D

[sfflyer123]

@XxMetalGorxX Thank you for the nice comment. Unfortunately, I don't know how to put music into these videos. Also, aren't there copyright laws that we cannot copy music and put them into our own videos? Thus, I am neither sure of how to do it nor how to make it copyright-approved.

[XxMetalGorxX]

@sfflyer123 @sfflyer123 WHAT? I put music in ALL my videos for the past 2 years and I never knew about that :D well I heard if you put some info in the description of the video that this is not copyright then its ok. I use Windows Movies Maker to add effects and put music on it, its simple and easy so if you have another video you would like too post, try Movie maker :D

[sfflyer123]

@XxMetalGorxX Yes, I use Windows moviemaker. It's very nice. I do not know how to put music on it. I first have to get the song from somewhere, and I not sure about the copyright issues.

[Jc22ny]

Great Review!!!Very Helpful..Keep on posting them

[sfflyer123]

@Jc22ny Thank you. Will do!

[marXTheSpotFilms]

Great Video!

[sfflyer123]

@marXTheSpotFilms Thank you!

[sfflyer123]

@TonyMcGriffles Good to know. Thanks!

[sfflyer123]

@TonyMcGriffles I know that CO has new 757 configuration has lie-flats, but don't the old 757's have this configuration for international travel? I hope the merger takes the best of both worlds and enhances them.

[ChubsFlight]

What was the soup on MIA-EWR

[sfflyer123]

@ChubsFlight corn torilla!

[juanesathieu]

to bad that now continental and united are now gonna be the same airline

[sfflyer123]

@juanesathieu the hope is that CO should raise UA's food quality. Hopefully, the combined airline will have the best of both worlds!

[sfflyer123]

@tbarnes131 Thank you for the compliment! Yes, I fly for business. A lot. I wish I were retired, but I've got a few decades to go before that!!

[sfflyer123]

@TonyMcGriffles I have not tried the muffins, though it sounds like something that would be good. I agree, those cheeseburgers are surprisingly good!

[jenflights]

Continental service, especially First Class Transcontinental is superb!! Their tradition and their legendary high end ammenities are very obvious. Continental puts the elements together. From their lounges to the classy inflight services everything is well planned and certainly well done. AAAA+

[sfflyer123]

@jenflights Thanks for the comment. I agree with you. I do think their food is fantastic, certainly better than United's. I do like their lounges with the white leather chairs also. Very nice!

[sfflyer123]

@TonyMcGriffles Nice to hear the food was good. I flew SFO-MIA for business.  No direct flights on *A, so I took CO. The two hubs worked out the best timing wise.

[sfflyer123]

@TonyMcGriffles Yes, those burgers are soo good!

[packs5100]

so sfflyer, what do you think about the CO-UA merger?

[sfflyer123]

@packs5100 I think overall, it will be better, but we'll have to see. I think it will be more options, but it will be more expensive.

[packs5100]

@sfflyer123 I myself am a Continental flyer and my experiances with them are great. So far I've only flown United twice and 1 out of those two trips were pleasant on UA. UA offers great seat products but customer satisfaction was not very good. I think and hope that will improve for the new United =D

[sfflyer123]

@packs5100 Yes, hopefully with Smisek running the show, customer satisfaction will go up.

[MrDarkslasher12]

good ol' milano cookies

[sfflyer123]

@MrDarkslasher12 Yes, they are a nice treat. CO really has good food, I must say.

[homer3152]

Fantastic video, thzank you very much for posting it. Pls have a look at my videos of Emirates flights and lounges, in case you dont know them yet.

[christopherjoshuarn]

is the president's club complimentary for business-first passengers?

[sfflyer123]

@christopherjoshuarn I do not know specifically, but I suspect not. At UA, domestic business/first does not get you into the lounge. Only international business will get you into the lounge. So, I think if you travel domestically, you will not get into the lounge.

[andrewlong111]

@sfflyer123 Your right, it's only complimemtary for people who are traveling BusinessFirst internationally or who are OnePass Elite.

[sfflyer123]

@andrewlong111

Thanks for confirming!

[chuyjpg]

WHERE ARE THE FRENCH FRIES?

[sfflyer123]

@chuyjpg I bet they didn't want to risk them being soggy!

[chuyjpg]

@sfflyer123 jeje YOUR VIDEOS ARE GREAT¡¡

[sfflyer123]

@chuyjpg Thank you!

[packs5100]

The 757 is a europe international/long haul domestic (EWR-LAX/SFO).

[sfflyer123]

@packs5100 Thanks for confirming!

[playaspace]

great video

[sfflyer123]

@playaspace Thank you!

[andrewlong111]

Thanks for sharing, I've always traveled Domestic First Class but yet to experience BusinessFirst

[sfflyer123]

@andrewlong111 Thanks for the comment. Hope you get to try it sometime.

[determined3]

i love continental! Did you do all these trips in one day?

[sfflyer123]

@determined3 Did them in two separate days. The first leg was SFO-MIA. Spent a few days in Miami. The return was MIA-SFO. Thanks for the comment!

[brewdog11]

Continental FC is pretty good! I'm pretty loyal to Delta, so I miss CO being part of SkyTeam. Cool video!

[sfflyer123]

Thanks for the comment. Hope to ride up front on Delta one day.

[superdave1014]

What kind of soup?

[sfflyer123]

The one with the hamburger was cream of mushroom soup. The one with the shrimp & asparagus was a tortilla soup. Both excellent!

[ISLAVERDE29]

I flew First class on a Continental 757-200 last summer and yep, it is international configured!

[sfflyer123]

It's a nice ride. They should try to use those 757's on their "signature" routes like EWR to SFO or EWR to LAX. Similar to the UA P.S. flights and the AA New york long-haul transcons.

[ISLAVERDE29]

Guess what, they do! Just not so often, but i know what you mean, especially since Continental has 41 757-200's in their fleet! I just wish Continental would have a premium economy cabin like UA (even though it's really not premium compared to most carriers that have it)

[sfflyer123]

Yes, I think if they had a "premium service" type product, many people would think about flying CO transcon, not just one pass members.

[aejm]

Thanks for this. UA 1K in NJ ... have not done CO yet ... won't hesitate now ...

[sfflyer123]

Great! You won't regret it. It was very nice.

[iappl27]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you get that meal in economy too.

[sfflyer123]

Yes, Continental provides food in economy! I don't think it's the same meal, but they definitely give you food!

[iappl27]

@sfflyer123 Darn, looks like they've fallen and are now going to charge for food on flights less than six hours.

[sfflyer123]

@iappl27 This is too bad. It was always one of CO's selling points.

[TheLiLD95]

Great video! Your so lucky you have the money to fly like this!

[sfflyer123]

Thank you, but I cannot afford these airfares! I only fly this way when other people pay (work-related) or when I upgrade!

[TheLiLD95]

@sfflyer123 Thats cool How do you get the upgrades?

[sfflyer123]

The key is to get lots of miles. How do I get miles? I fly a lot in economy! I don't post videos of economy flights because that's not terribly interesting. But I fly a lot in economy to get those miles!

[TheLiLD95]

@sfflyer123 Ya, I somewhat fly a lot in economy. . .
