B757 - flat bed
Excuse my ignorance...I haven't flown CO for a long time.
I am planing a trip to Europe. Is there a way to know (from seat map maybe) if a B757 has the flat bed or not?
Thanks

Not until 2 days prior to departure (unless you are flying to LHR, which is "guaranteed" flat beds. At the 2-day mark, you can look up the flight status on continental.com and under "in-flight amenities" it will tell you what type of seating the aircraft that is scheduled to operate the flight offers. Of course the aircraft assignment is subject to change at any time up until boarding.

Thank you. I did not know you could see that on the site. I tried (for fun) the routes i want to take with oct 20 and 21 to see and they don't have the lie flat bed...will take the 777 to frankfurt or the 757 to LHR which has it more often.

When is the trip? If it is next year then you have a 95%+ chance of getting the lie-flat 772 on any route it flies as the fleet should be fully converted by January. If it is this year or if it is on a 752 then the only guarantee is to LHR.
