Quoting LASOctoberB6 (Thread starter): I noticed today that Continental still has cloth seats and TVs that are on the ceiling throughout the cabin. I read about airlines upgrading the cabin and such (DL, UA, AA). Do they ever plan on refurbishing their domestic product, or are they already updating? It just seems that they are just a bit late to the game... |
Quoting COERJ145 (Reply 2): powerports |
Quoting COERJ145 (Reply 2): good seats |
Quoting COERJ145 (Reply 2): CO is behind B6, F9 and DL in terms of IFE. |
Quoting LASOctoberB6 (Reply 3): Eh... they are nice, but cloth is SOOO yesterday. |
Quoting LASOctoberB6 (Reply 3): I guess that's what I was trying to say.. |
Quoting Commavia (Reply 1): CO does an incredible job - they already have just about the best Y product of any legacy airline in the U.S. A few others - mainly AA, DL and NW - also have good products, but CO doesn't really need to do much upgrading. They're product is already pretty much the best in the business. |
Quoting Eghansen (Reply 6): I don't how anybody can say the product on AA's MD80s is good. |
Quoting Eghansen (Reply 6): Cramped cabins |
Quoting Eghansen (Reply 6): no overhead bin space |
Quoting Eghansen (Reply 6): no food |
Quoting LASOctoberB6 (Thread starter): TVs that are on the ceiling throughout the cabin. |
Quoting LASOctoberB6 (Thread starter): cloth seats |
Quoting Eghansen (Reply 6): I don't how anybody can say the product on AA's MD80s is good. Cramped cabins, no overhead bin space, no food, no movies or videos, noisy in back, some seats without windows facing a blank wall, coin-operated toilets. (Okay, the last one is an exaggeration.) |
Quoting Alitalia744 (Reply 11): The MD80 is one of the most comfortable birds in the sky - hell I'd rather ride thru a storm in a mad-dog than any boeing or airbus out there today |
Quoting Commavia (Reply 12): Amen. And while we're at it, let's talk about the rest of the Douglas product line, including the DC9 and DC10. |
Quoting Commavia (Reply 12): Can't really say that about too many other aircraft, generally, except maybe the 737s, which are also damn good planes. |
Quoting UncleBuck (Reply 14): sounds like you were on the 737-300 |
Quoting Alitalia744 (Reply 13): C'mon, honorable mention to the 727, the most beautiful airliner to ever grace the sky. |
Quoting Asuflyer05 (Reply 8): CO's domestic product is average at best. Their service is what blows everyone else out of the water. |
Quoting AirTranTUS (Reply 9): Does the 753 have CRT screens over the aisle or drop-down LCD's over the seats |
Quoting STT757 (Reply 18): Complimentary meals at meal time, pillows and blankets are something you are only going to find on CO. |
Quoting AirTranTUS (Reply 9): What was the breakfast snack they served? |
Quoting LASOctoberB6 (Reply 3): I didn't have one... are you talking about in F? I don't think Y has any.. |
Quoting Sxf24 (Reply 22): as does DL on domestic routes to AK and HI. |
Quoting Commavia (Reply 5): After four hours sitting on leather, I think my skin begins to bond with the damn rawhide at the molecular level. It's not comfortable, to say the least. |
Quoting Asuflyer05 (Reply 8): Their international business class however is a sorry excuse for one. Why would anyone fly CO when you can have a 180 degree sleeper on UA. I think DL and AA also have sleeper suites. |
Quoting Sxf24 (Reply 22): Absolutely not true. HA offers complimentary meals, as does DL on domestic routes to AK and HI. AS, HA and WN are a few of the carriers that still offer pillows and blankets domestically. While CO has a more traditional Y product, its only truly outstanding attribute is its consistency. |
Quoting Rampart (Reply 28): I have to ask, but am a little afraid to: exactly how clothed are you when you fly? Or is there a nudist class I'm not aware of? |
Quoting Sxf24 (Reply 29): More people than fly CO to those same destinations. |
Quoting CuriousFlyer (Reply 31): Leather does make me sweat. I do not like it beyond 2 hours. It's great for short haul. I prefer the CO experience for their (relatively) happy and friendly FAs, competent staff on the phone line, decent food, clean aircraft, fair frequent flyer program, decent lounges and quite often decent fares too. |
Quoting MSYtristar (Reply 34): I generally think CO does a very good job, however a group of 15 of my coworkers (who just attended a meeting in LIS), vowed to never fly them TransAtlantic again after they got the classic 757 from EWR to LIS. I was trying to tell them that the 757 is only used on select routes from Europe and that they are all getting new Y cabin upgrades, but to no avail. |
Quoting Lemurs (Reply 32): Hawaii, yes. Alaska, no. CO does way more ops to ANC from IAH/SEA/EWR than DL does from LAS and SLC. |

Quoting AirTranTUS (Reply 9): Does the 753 have CRT screens over the aisle or drop-down LCD's over the seats. |
Quoting IAHFLYER (Reply 24): Cheerios, milk, all bev's, banana and a napkin. |
Quoting IAHFLYER (Reply 24): And a muffin! |
Quoting COERJ145 (Reply 26): F class and the first few rows of Y have them in the 737-800, 757-200, 767-200, 767-400 and in all seats in the 777-200. |
Quoting Letsgetwet (Reply 19): I personally think cloth is much more comfortable and durable |
Quoting Lemurs (Reply 30): Are you seriously suggesting that DL offering meals on two limited non-continental destinations, and HA (which by definition is non-continental) are the same thing as CO offering full meals on all flights over 3 hours? Really? Those are the same thing? |
Quoting Asuflyer05 (Reply 8): I think DL and AA also have sleeper suites. |
Quoting Alitalia744 (Reply 13): C'mon, honorable mention to the 727, the most beautiful airliner to ever grace the sky. |
Quoting LASOctoberB6 (Reply 38): I was in seat 12A, and when I looked on seatguru (which I'm starting to trust less) didn't list the first few rows of Y having powerports. |
Quoting JetBlueAUS (Reply 44): blow everyone else out of the water. |
Quoting Commavia (Reply 5): Quoting LASOctoberB6 (Reply 3): Eh... they are nice, but cloth is SOOO yesterday. I'll take cloth any day over leather. After four hours sitting on leather, I think my skin begins to bond with the damn rawhide at the molecular level. It's not comfortable, to say the least. |
Quoting Analog (Reply 45): Seatguru has shown the powerports in Y rows 7-16 of CO's 752s for at least 10 months now. |
