what do you mean business first class? Business is business class and first is first class. Is it different on american airlines?

BusinessFirst is a step down from a true International First Class.
It was developed by airlines that did not want to offer 3 classes of
service. It is better than US domestic first class: better seating, food, ect.
Have taken it many times. Worth it if you can catch a sale. In Nov. '06 I
got a BF fare EWR-AMS for $1,250 + taxes. For comparison a coach fare
in the summer months could be > $1,000.
If you can only take BF one way, the AMS --> USA leg is a longer flight, and
you will likely sleep on the red-eye going in the other direction anyway.
Have done the mental math many times: BF and a 3* hotel in Amsterdam,
or tough it out in coach and spend the week in a 4* hotel. Either way,
my budget for weed and the ladies remains the same. :)

well, they are having a sale for about $2,500 and since the regular coach is 1,200 already, i want to try the BusinessFirst seating since its double and not quadtriple the price of coach.
I just wanted to know what to expect if i do book a flight on Continential. do the seats recline all the way down? or is it like a lazy-boy recliner type of seat?

Check out www.seatguru.com for seating maps and info on degree of recline for all seats on all airlines. I don't think Continental business seats fully recline, but I may have them confused with Delta. NWA/KLM is still on sale for $2100.
