Continental airline has business class seats that are fully reclinable. Virgin however has a nice preflight meal and also offer fully reclinable seats on their trans-Atlantic flights. United also has seats that will lay flat. So of the three Maybe Virgin offers more but for in country travel Continental is best. They are good with baggage and service and the new seats are great.
