Ok, I take back anything negative that I had to say about continental. Flying BusinessFirst on those DC-10s is worth any bit of aggrevation that I have had in the past week. Last week, not only did they put me on another airline going from San Fran to San Antonio, but they put me on another airline on the way from San Antonio to San Fran. I was pretty angry about all the problems I had last week.
However, when I finally got on a Continental Flight last night, I realized that Continentals BusinessFirst kicks Americans butt in First Class. There is no comparison between the two. Contiental has soooooo much space in between seats and the chairs recline so far back, you are almost horizontal. Plus, American flights from Dallas to San Fran never had any movies and very little overhead space. Continental has a ton of overhead space in BusinessFirst and many movies to choose from. I am so glad I switched over to Continental. This is the life. This is the way first class should be. American needs to take a chapter out of the continental book.
