Continental Airline Tickets

What is the difference between First Class and Business Class when flying Continental?

I recently flew from Newark to Paris and purchased a Business Class ticket for 6,500 from Continental. They also were selling tickets in 1st class for 13,500, so I thought it would be a three cabin plane. When I boarded there were only two cabins and it seemed as if all the First and Business class customers were mixed together. The seating, service and entire trip was perfect and I couldn't imagine what else they could have done for us which makes me wonder, what did the people that paid for 1st class on that flight get that I didn't?

1. Continental only has Business First, so don't buy the $13,500 ticket since the service will be the same.
2. I have wondered the same thing. When I flew from Illinois to Jamaica I was on a HUGE plane. The only thing that I noticed was different was that the first class seats were a little more padded and that they had more leg room to lean back and things. I dont think I would pay the extra just for a softer seat, its kinda stupid if you ask me Lindsay
