Fikk så lyst å besøke Tel-Aviv når jeg så dette bidet.
Har ikke vert der siden 1996 og 1997 (Anbefalt reisemål)

Helt bakerst i bildet er Hilton Hotel som jeg bodde på. Min søster jobbet som kokk der.
Fløy med SAS MD83 CPH-TLV

Dette ser jo meget bra ut, og vil gi et løft til et allerede godt alternativ.
Jeg fløy BF EWR-LAX i dagens sete, som med den gode servicen var en helt OK reise, men med dette nye setet blir CO vanskelige å slå.
Så får vi bare håpe at SAS snart følger etter med en oppgradering av sine Biz-stoler snart, ettersom de nå sakker akterut!

Unveiled today at the National Business Travel Association International Convention and Exposition in Los Angeles, the new 180-degree lie-flat seats are the centerpiece of Continental's award-winning BusinessFirst service that provides the extra space and fine amenities of traditional international first class at a business class price.

"Continental continues to invest in its product to make flying more comfortable for our global customers," said Larry Kellner, chairman and chief executive officer of Continental Airlines. "We created a brand-new seat designed to lie completely flat, without compromising functionality or effective use of cabin space."

Lie-flat Design

Continental's new BusinessFirst seats allow customers to lie completely flat, reclining 180-degrees and providing 6 1/2 feet (2 meters) of sleeping space in the fully extended position on its widebody aircraft. The lie-flat seat is one of the widest business-class seats in the air, measuring up to 25 inches when the adjustable armrest is positioned flush with the seat cushion, allowing customers to sleep more comfortably. Electronic "one-touch" controls enable customers to easily move the seats to pre-set upright, cradle and fully extended sleep positions and additional controls allow customers to adjust the seat back, lumbar support and leg and foot rests to the custom position most comfortable for them.

The lie-flat seats provide more individual storage space for personal items. Laptop power, headset and USB plugs are conveniently tucked above the customer's shoulder. There is additional storage under the ottoman, on a shelf under the monitor and on an amenity storage alcove that provides room for small personal items such as a book or magazine and a water bottle.

iPod connectivity will also be available at the seat, allowing each customer to view their personal videos and enjoy their music, all while the iPod is charging. BusinessFirst seats on the 787 and 777 aircraft will feature a 15.4-inch video monitor for customers to enjoy on-demand movies, music and games. Seats on the 757 aircraft will feature 10.6-inch monitors.

The new BusinessFirst seats also have a six-way adjustable head rest, an individual overhead reading light and an adjustable seat light allowing a customer to read in bed without disturbing their neighbor and a privacy shell that allows for seclusion from other travelers.

Two Years to Design and Perfect

Continental's product marketing team began researching new seat options in the fall of 2006 when planning BusinessFirst service for the new 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The airline visited with numerous seat manufacturers worldwide before selecting BE Aerospace, which created five different design concepts. Concurrently, Continental sought feedback from a focus group of BusinessFirst frequent flyers that identified and prioritized key needs of global travelers and worked closely with the airline's project team and the seat manufacturer to help create the new seat. The important features requested by the focus group were to install a wider seat that could lay completely flat and be easy to operate.

Seats are the Centerpiece of Premium Service

BusinessFirst service features an extensive gourmet menu served with premium wines and champagnes created by Continental's Congress of Chefs and Sommeliers. International Concierge Service provides individualized pre- and post-flight services for BusinessFirst customers at 42 airports around the world. Customers traveling in BusinessFirst may also access any of Continental's 27 Presidents Clubs and more than 60 airline affiliated lounges worldwide.

Continental Airlines has won numerous awards for its BusinessFirst product. The Official Airline Guide has awarded Continental's BusinessFirst as the Best Executive/Business Class for five consecutive years (2003 - 2007), and Conde Nast Traveler magazine rated Continental's premium BusinessFirst service the highest among all U.S. carriers for trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific flights 10 years in a row.

Continental currently operates the Boeing 777 on routes between Newark and Beijing, Delhi, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London/Heathrow, Mumbai, Paris, Rome, Tel Aviv and Tokyo, and between Houston and London/Heathrow, Paris and Tokyo.

BusinessFirst on the Boeing 757 is currently offered on routes between Newark and Amsterdam, Barcelona, Belfast, Berlin, Birmingham, Bristol, Copenhagen, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hamburg, Lisbon, London/Gatwick, Madrid, Manchester, Oslo, Paris, Shannon and Stockhom

Heisann!

Ja takk learjet, da kom det offisielt ut...

Flere av gruppene har jobbet med dette i lengere tid og det er nedlagt en del arbeidstimer i dette prosjektet. Paa wide body er dette ikke noe enormt problem, men det var litt av en oppgave aa faa de 16 av de nye BusinessFirst setene til aa passe i B757'en...

Har ikke timeplanen for retrofit enda, men det skulle gaa "relativt" fort naar vi foerst faar startet.

Det var stumt fra avdeling Houston inntil pressemeldingen laa paa bordet

[Farmer]

Hva skjer med internettoppkobling ombord Dag?
Når kommer denne ?

[Dag Johnsen]

Heisann Odd!

Jeg vet at LiveTV som vi starter aa installere i januar har text message muligheter, men jeg tror ikke det har full internett service. Jeg forstaar det slik at du kan sende og motta e-mail med laptop, iPod osv.

Vet ikke i farten om wide body flyene vil ha dette enda...?

Så bra ut disse nye setene..
TV-skjermen så sinnsyk stor ut - eller jeg som begynner å se kleint?

[Discus]

Hvordan går det med fremdriften på disse? Snart i gang med konvertering på 777ene? Ser det står 0% på alle typene så langt.

Customers will begin seeing the Flat-bed Seat on Boeing 777 aircraft that primarily serve transatlantic and transpacific routes in the fall of 2009, with installation on the rest of Continental's wide-body fleet to follow.
