@UclaColumbia I was flying MCO-EWR about ten years ago, and our flight was canceled because of an equipment problem. CO put us on the next flight, and they replaced the 737-900 that should have been flying the route with an internationally configured 777-200.
Continental Business Elite is excellent.....a complication of thoughtful high end amenities and products. I chose Business Elite because of the obvious specific amenities and the overal top quality of the service. Always a pleasure.
Great video! I just wonder...why would they use a 777 enroute from KEWR-KSEA? It seems like a big aircraft to use for that route. I thought that they used aircrafts like the 757?
In addition to movies and popular tv shows, Continental offers multiple channels of music as well. The music includes classical/opera, country/western, pop music and show tunes so there would be plenty to which you can listen.
Two questions. Does the engine sound differ from regular class and business class? The other question I have is, is it worth the extra $100 or so for the upgrade? Planning on flying soon and really need the information. Thanks.
The BusinessFirst cabin is generally quieter than the main cabin. Also, if you think a seat in Business First is only an extra $100, you are, sadly, mistaken. A round-trip ticket will cost anywhere from $5,000 to $12,000 depending on the route. For example, a flight from Newark to Hong Kong will cost significantly more than a flight from Newark to London-Heathrow. The seats, entertainment, and food are all excellent but you'll have to decide if the extra money is worth it to you.
Continental is in the process of converting it's BusinessFirst Cabins to include lie-flat seat pods. The cabin may look cramped but, I assure you, the cabins are very comfortable. It is better than most business class cabins...
Nice video. I just rode in the Businessfirst to and from Beijing China to Newark on that plane a Continental 777. Got back from Beijing yesterday morning actually-very recent. It was really nice and the service was wonderful. I found it funny how they feed you every like 10 mins...well not really but they feed you a lot. Hahah and I am a 15 year old girl and my Dad is an airline pilot who flies these Continental 777 planes! :) Anyaways, nice video.
nice video,i think contenetal has the best customer service.i think they are just the best around,thats why i buy an annual presidents club membership.
continental is great, just liek other airlines. i flew with them a while ago from Omaha to Houston and from Houston to Guadalajara Mexico. I was on the 737 and the ERJ-145. i wish i could fly on the 777though. anyways, Great Vid!
Great video. I'd love to see more. Especially if you travel in BusinessFirst again. Was it just me, or did it seem that the seat was not that big nor comforable? Also not much room for your feet. I've flew DL's BusinessElite on their 763ER and service was great especially the food, so great I wanted MORE. Never flown Con. but my aunt has and she loved it, said I must try them out. Lastly I can't believe Con would use a t7 for EWR-SEA. Never heard of airline say sorry 4 being early before.
great vid, but continental really need to get their first class seats renewed for sure. those aren't considered as first class sitting in today's standard, not anymore.
Actually those are considered first class. But continental is in fact getting new lie-flat seats, with new tv, table, lights, USB and all types of electric outlets. Check out their website for details
Lucky you! I actually had an upgrade last month, but of course i had to pay a bit but it was worth it because it was on a 757-200 (BusinessFirst). Did it because that could very well be the ONLY time i'll ever get to experience a seat better than domestic first. I even have a short clip of me in full recline.
It's a fast way to adjust the chair. One button puts the chair in normal sitting mode aka no recline at all, the second button is recline almost half way and the last button is sleep mode or full recline of the chair.
I flew this plane to Tokyo from Newark. Never ever again. First class is a joke. Next time I will purchase a ticket with Air Canada at least they have a nice first class section.
Continental doesn'tt have a first class cabin. They market it as business class. When it is reviewed and rated, it is done so against other business classes. Continental calls it BusinessFirst for a reason, they combined Business class with first Class. Lastly, Continental Airlines is in the process of remodeling their BusinessFirst cabin, it will feature lieflat leather seats, and a new inflight entertainment system.
@19laurel94 =LAUREL yes it is first class. But most if not all 777-200 have been fitted with new fully reclinable seats. You can lay straight and sleep like baby if your nerves don't ge the best of you...
THIS IS THE OLD BUSINESS FIRST!!!!!!, the new business first have AVOD with over 200 channels to choose from, and are much more comfortable and are lie-flat, this guy should've put the new business first !!!
Continental Airlines´ Bussines First is the best and the most voted in the airline industry I travel with them a lot and I just love it!!! way to go Continental!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Thanks for sharing your video with us.
Continental airlines has one of the worse services in "J "class ever seen.
Next time when you fly to Europe or Asia,please try something like Etihad,Singapore Airlines or even British Airways...then you can say you really flying...
The American Airlines have already forgotten what a good service is all about,should call themselves Budget Airlines insted,the seats are small,narrow, old,dirty,crew have attitude etc...and the food,where is it?
Wow, you were really fortunate to be on a 777 going to Seattle, as the 777 does international flights almost exclusively, other than positioning flights between EWR and IAH :-)
Yes every seat has a TV. Its all AVOD now with over 200 movies. All of Continental Airlines planes with the exception of the 737-500 will have a TV in each seat. All the domestic 737sNG and 737-300 are gettin LiveTX with 81 channels and the 757-200 and 777 have AVOD. the 767s have PTVs in each seat. Continental will be the ONLY US legacy carrier with TVs on all planes in all seats with the exeception of 737-500. No other US legacy carrir comes close to that.
wow!!!!!!!!!! metal knives???, good thing this flight wasn´t, United Airlines or American Airlines, probably the cockpit door was a cardboard box, I just had a trip Miami-SFO 1st class on AA and there were obsolutely no metal knives or something similar to metal on meals. lol
You actually get metal cutlery in economy class on Continental on International flights, but not domestic. I got them on my EDI-EWR flight but not EWR-SFO (even though I missed the connection because of delays and then didnt get the next flight out because of confusion on the standby list!)
This was incredibly wonderful. Much much MUCH better without the music. The original audio is AMAZING. When taking off, the whine of the engines spooling up during takeoff is MAGICAL. Great footage throughout the whole flight. I've never flown Business Class, or First Class for that matter. It looked like you were rather comfortable. Very good video, dude. :)
