Continental Airlines New Business First Seats in a Boeing 777-200

i remember when my school got a tour of the COA 777

I just want to say, I flew with this plane in First Class with these exact seats and I LOVED it! Best experience ever for my first time in First Class. The seat turned completely into a bed and it was fun playing games. Best flight ever.

is there any advantage in the bulkheadseats? More legspace that allows more space to get out of the window seat?

[jhpxc11]

@zs2490 yep, a little more legroom up at the bulkhead seats.

@Bigrippa96 you just walk around to a galley and pass through it.

[Thecutecoolguy]

What will happen with these seats since the merger?

[jhpxc11]

@Thecutecoolguy I think they will keep them and hopefully they will start installing them in the United airplanes.

[Bigrippa96]

so if your sitting on the far right of the plane how do you get to the aisle, do you have to step over someone?

[jhpxc11]

@Bigrippa96 yes, you have to step over the guy next to you if they have their seat all the way down...If you're tall its not that difficult but a shorter person might have some trouble.

so where does this leave the cabin w/ the new continental-ual merger? both airlines use diff international cabin layouts..

[jhpxc11]

@airjordanseattle23 not sure at this point..."studies are being done" is what I've heard...

[DeanHynd94]

is this just 1st class ?

[jhpxc11]

@DeanHynd94 Sort of...Continental only has what they call BusinessFirst on their international aircraft. They have a regular not lie flat seat for their domestic first class.

[DeanHynd94]

@jhpxc11 im flying late tonight from uk to usa, so when you international is tht what you mean? thanks!

[jhpxc11]

@DeanHynd94 Depends on the airplane...all of the CAL 777s have the lie flat. They are in the process of upgrading the 757-200s with them so you may or may not have the lie flat depending on which 757-200 you are on. If you go to continental website, flight status, seat map and the first class seats are shown slanted, then they are lie flat. The non lie flat are shown straight just like the coach seats.

@jhpxc11 thanks

[packs5100]

Awesome. I wonder if the UA merger is going to include these seats for business class or are they gonna rip them out?

[jhpxc11]

@packs5100 Not sure...I imagine they will keep them in the CAL airplanes for at least a few years including the 787, but the new United is going to have to figure out how to standardize their interiors as there is quite a mix between the CAL and United airplanes. It will be interesting to see which way the new United decides to go. I prefer the BusinessFirst option.
