Curious what the widebody distinction implies for the sleeping space on the non-widebody (757) aircraft.

Otherwise looks just right. Wide seat, nicely padded, not another Delta dentists' chair.

The shoulder-level power plugs will be interesting -- a lot of laptop plugs have transformer boxes that could dangle awkwardly, but I will trust they have thought this through.
I didn't notice the "widebody" qualification, but I don't see anything that indicates the 752s will have a different product. I wonder if it is just Continental pretending that the 752s are bigger than they really are.
