Continental Airlines

Pros: Booking online is fast and easy; good selection of transatlantic flights.
Cons: Like most airlines, Continental's coach class seats are uncomfortable.

Continental has a very user-friendly website and booking my reward ticket took only a few minutes. At the time of booking, there were no economy seats available for Houston/Paris on December 14, 2005, but I was able to book an economy seat ...

Pros: The more legs you fly the better value it gets.
Cons: Don't expect any frills and you won't be disappointed.

We had planned to fly from the UK to New York plus several legs across the USA right down to Houston (where Continental Airlines is based). It seems the more legs you book with Continental, the better value it becomes. Our flight plan was; 1)UK ...

Pros: water offered multiple times
Cons: candor, slow luggage handling, etc.

My advice for flying within the United States of America is to try to get elite status. I am not satisfied by any US air carrier. If I didn't have elite status on United, I wouldn't have much good ...

Pros: Service; Prices; Easy check- in
Cons: Not enough hubs makes some travel impractical

Continental Airlines is one of the best- known and most widely used airlines in the United States, ranking in the top ten among domestic carriers based on number of passengers served each year and the amount of total revenue. Continental offers service ...

Pros: Good itinerary, reasonable price
Cons: Poor service, inefficient processes, uninterested staff

Airfare is a necessary evil for those of us who insist on traveling abroad. I love my international travel, and I’ll not give it up willingly—not even in these days of high oil prices—though I do wish there were a better and more affordable ...

Pros: On time flights and fast service
Cons: More costly than other choices

As I have stated before, I am a member of more than one frequent flier club and really have no loyalty to any one airline over another. I have two airlines I won‘t fly on and other than those, I fly on whichever airline gives me the best price.
...

Pros: Excellent on ground and in-flight service.
Cons: Cramped, uncomfortable seating.

I rarely fly Continental Airlines because my company has a deal with American Airlines and there aren’t as many hubs and it’s hard to find direct flights. The following review is based on my four Continental flights over the past two years, all ...

Pros: Very friendly and professional staff
Cons: Comfort of planes

This review is written by an infrequent flyer. So for those who don’t fly very often this review might help you in your decision to fly Continental Airlines or not to fly with them. A friend and I flew on one of Continental‘s express jets ...

Pros: On-time flights; professional employees; clean aircraft
Cons: Hubs... I hate 'em!

I recently made an overnight trip from Washington, DC (where I live), to Phoenix and the flights were on Continental Airlines. By the time I arrived back home, I was impressed with this airline. To start with, I did not make the reservation. It was ...

Pros: Miles stack up FAST, great elite program, easy redemption
Cons: What a shame airlines can't give good service to ALL customers

Frequent flyer programs cost nothing to join, so why not go with the best there is! For my lack of money, the best is Continental OnePass, and that's not just my opinion, that's also the opinion of most people who fly alot -- like the readers and editors...

Pros: Excellent customer service before the flight.
Cons: Rude gate agents, lack of airport assistance

This review is written over a period of time, beginning with my experience before my flight, and continuing throughout the flight itself.

With customer service lacking in so many industries today, I felt the need to share the excellent...

Pros: Friendly service, clean airplanes, many destinations.
Cons: Often late and/or oversold.

Continental is one of the five US "legacy" carriers, and its major hubs are Newark, Cleveland, and Houston. The airline flies throughout the country and to destinations in Europe and Asia, but the majority of flights are in the Eastern US, Midwest, or ...

Pros: Outstanding business class, good airport lounges, friendly staff
Cons: Not nearly as good in coach, cramped seating in coach

I highly recommend Continental's Business/First class as a way to cross the pond. We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent service we had on our flight to Cairo in November, 1998.

Check-in, Norfolk, VA

We got off...

Pros: Nice plane, good frequent flyer mile program, polite staff
Cons: Not that I can Think of

I must say, I really did not want to go through the regular airport routine this summer. I didn’t want to wait in long lines, or sit in stuffy terminals waiting for that delayed flight. And finally you finally board that plane and find your sitting...

Pros: frequent flyer program, flexible schedule, last minute airfares
Cons: long checkin lines, high prices

Since I fly with Continental quite a lot (more than 50 flights in the past year), I figured I'd weigh in with my two cents worth.

Okay, what are the things that are important in evaluating an airline? Price is probably the biggest for the...
