Continental finally goes flat

CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, in its first move as a member of Star Alliance, has put into service the lead aircraft fitted with its new BusinessFirst seats.  These allow customers to lie completely flat, reclining 180 degrees and providing 6½ feet (2m) of sleeping space in the fully extended position.  The seats feature 15.4-inch video monitors.  Over the coming months the seats will be fitted on the airline's long haul Boeing 777s, 757-200s and 767-400 aircraft, and eventually on the new Boeing 787 fleet.  The new seat will be also unveiled at WTM. www.continental.com
