Business class flights from London the US are very expensive right now. Option 1 is normally 2x the price but we were able to secure special pricing. However, it is still very expensive, leaves early and has a tight connection in Chicago with a terminal change (T5 to T1). The Delta option is at a good time with a comfortable connection and a lot cheaper. The seats are very similar to first class domestic flights.
