Taking the family to New York in October for 4nights and am going to treat ourselves to business class flights - All three, Aer Lingus/ Delta + Continental are around the same price - I don not want the hassle to go through the UK for such a short trip - Can anybody suggest who would be best to fly with?

I have flown both Aer Lingus Business(Dublin - JFK) and Continental business/first (Belfast - Newark) a few years back (2004-2006) and given a choice of these two, I would choose Continental. At that time, the cabin interior, seats, food and service on Continental was superior to Aer Lingus.

CO, just make sure you get an aircraft with the international BF config.

Plus with CO you may well find yourself on a Trans-Atlantic 757 which is not my idea of fun.
