"I especially enjoyed the footage of all the contestants in the E+ section on the UA flight, compared with those crammed into the coach seats on AA."

Actually, AA's pitch is quite good, 34" throughout coach, unlike UA's E+ which is just the forward few rows. The real downer for those who caught the AA flight, aside from getting in an hour later, is that they have to pay for booze while I believe it is still free on the overseas leg on UA.

I do agree that continuity is the pits on this series, and they really need someone to drop by the editing room from time to time to ensure the correct aircraft interiors and exteriors are used.
