Which business class seating
 
If your only choices for business class seating transatlantic were the 747-400on Lufthansa (old business class) or the Envoy 757-200 of US Airways which would you choose and why for two persons who want to sit together?

Envoy. It's lie-flat and a more comfortable seat,

Size really does matter here IMHO. 6'8" spouse likes old LH seat better than just about anything. Sad but true. Otherwise, envoy.

Lufthansa 747-400 Business Class angle lie flat seats have 57-60.0" pitch, 19.7" width and 165 degree recline. 80 seats have a varied configuration (2-2;2-1-2;2-3-2).

US Airways Boeing 757-200 Envoy angle-flat seats have 60.0" pitch, 19.5" width and 160º/39" recline. 12 seats are configured 2-2.

Personally I would go with Envoy because a cabin with 12 seats feels more private.

Thanks very much for the responses. Looks like we'll choose Envoy. Would love to fly something that we know is better but award availability, timing and destinations mean we have to choose between LH or US.
