Certainly, for the same reason joshwex90 said in the other thread you started about this, LY's First is substandard, and while the service will probably be very good the hard product is dated (even though it's only about 3-4 years old...) and far behind the competition.

You'de be better off (as suggested as well in the other thread) to take BA or AA to LHR and BA from there, you cannot even compare the products.

Any way you can travel with CO using these Amex points? because if so you could book Business First which although a business class product is miles ahead of LY's First, and you still get to travel direct from EWR.

I guess at the end of the day though it also depends on what you're used to and if it's economy/coach you will most likely find LY's First a great experience.

We're just all spoilt...
