the difference between first & business is not much....you get a larger seat & a separate cabin but that's pretty much it....the service in first is a little more attentive but i like the service in their business class cabin as well so again there is not much difference....

Pajamas and a better amenity bag in First. In addition to the significantly wider seat and better mattress pad - especially useful for the long India-US longhauls!

I was looking at this and business has 2-3-2 config. A middle seat in business for a 15 hour flight is ridiculous.

Not that I disagree with you, but have you seen UA's 2-4-2 in business class?
