[QUOTE=brm;8010054]The CO 757 is a joke and only there to satisfy all the Sterling/Norwegian/Ryanair crowd of Norway. The plane is falling apart, hardly depart or arrive on time and is every now and then diverted to secondary (military) airports because they can't make the holding queue over EWR.

Continental has the newest fleet of the American legacy carriers and to say that their planes are falling apart is outright wrong.

Yes, it's a 757 and a single aisle plane, but the BF seat is very good (but not lie flat) and as far as the meal servicie goes, I think CO BF is much nicer than SAS C.

I have yet to try the new lie flat SAS seats so can't compare but for me the non stop CO flight saves 3 hours each way compared to changing planes in CPH or ARN, and that's a major benefit.
