    According to a survey of Conde Nast Traveler readers published in the magazine's October 2006 edition, Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL) outranked all of its United States competition in international Business Class service for the ninth time.

    The airline said that overall rankings were determined using a variety of criteria including Seat Comfort/Legroom, Food, Cabin Service, Amenities/Technology, Airport Lounge Clubs and Frequent-Flyer Privileges. Additionally, the airline said that its BusinessFirst service has topped the international premium-class service offered by the airline's US peers in the Conde Nast Traveler rankings since 1998.

    BusinessFirst reportedly also won the Best Executive/Business Class award in the OAG Airline of the Year Awards in 2005, 2004 and 2003, based on voting by frequent flyers worldwide.

    In the 2006 Conde Nast Traveler rankings, Continental also placed highest among its network peers for domestic premium-class service and survey participants ranked Continental's seat comfort/legroom, airport lounge clubs and frequent-flyer privileges above all major US carriers.
