In flying between L.A. and Fortaleza, Brazil in biz class next Feb/March, considering 777-200 through Houston and Rio or 767-400 through Newark and Sao Paulo. Former has 2-2-2 seating, latter 2-1-2. Latter costs a bit less. Leaning against the Houston-Sao Paulo option since that 777-200 is a 3-class and the biz class has 2-4-2 seating, with some seats facing backwards (wife would not want to run risk of having seat moved to one of those). Space counts more than sitting side by side to us. We have taken Delta biz class in 767s with truly lie-flat seats, and those were great, but currently United prices lower in biz (not first).

Any experiences with the two of these in regards to comfort and service? We have taken the 767 when it flew via Houston (I remember the 2-1-2 seating).
