Preamble I used to be one of those people who flew infrequently. I used to be one of thos ...

Pros: Miles stack up FAST, great elite program, easy redemption, super redemption sales
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: No expiring miles, equal partner programs with other airlines, low mileage for awards
Cons: slightly older fleet

Let's be real: the main reason why you choose a frequent-flyer program is usually geography. If you live in Minneapolis-St. Paul, it makes little sense to join Western's program. If you're in Houston, you'll probably want to pass on American and...

Pros: About as good as any other major airline frequent flier program.
Cons: No longer better than others, increasingly hard to earn elite status, I'm on the verge.

I've been a member of this program for 12 years! It's always been one of the best, but recent changes are sending me elsewhere. I've been an elite (silver and gold) for over 8 years and I've driven business to Continental and partners because of the ...

Pros: Somewhat easy to redeem miles, partnership with Virgin Atlantic
Cons: Elite members dont really matter

I began flying CO in 1994 when I had just moved from Las Vegas to Chicago Why do you ask did I choose CO? Well they had this little prestige pack whih gave you some upgrades and 7,000 miles for the small fee of $95. Also, I was a freshman in college...

Pros: Great service for Elite Level Folks
Cons: Too many folks after same free tickets.

Continental Airlines OnePass frequent flier program has the best Elite Levels of any Program. Not only is the Elite level of the program top notch, the entire program is awesome. Continental was among the few airlines several years ago who refused to put...

Pros: Everything
Cons: If you join, there'll be fewer seats for me

I started as a Continental customer when I was in college--the American Express student travel vouchers were a great deal, and the combination of OnePass and vouchers convinced me to stop flying American. Now that I'm out of college, I have to pay...

Cons: capacity controlled seating, some blackout dates around holidays

Overview Onepass, Continental's frequent flyer program has been recognized by industry experts as among the best programs for long distance carriers for the past several years. With the wide range of destinations, relative ease of use and numerous per ...

Pros: Great Program, Good Ways to Earn Miles
Cons: I can only fly so often

For those that travel at least a few times a year a Frequent-Flyer program is a must. With all the programs out there it is hard to find a good program and sift past the rest. I struck gold when I found the Continental OnePass program, it was more than i...

Pros: Easy to use, helpful operators
Cons: Too many MCI mailings, sometimes long hold times on phone

For the most part I've been very happy with the OnePass program and found it very easy to use. I've almost exclusively flown Continental so it was a logical choice to sign up for the OnePass frequent flyer program.

PROS: The program is...

Pros: Easy to accrue miles!
Cons: Impossible to use miles!

I have been happily accruing miles on my Continental Onepass account for years. I don't fly too much, so this has been a relatively slow process. In this time, however, I've racked up approximately 125,000 miles. I found this all pretty thrilling...

Pros: First Class upgrades and never expiring miles
Cons: Flexibility is required in redeeming miles

There's a reason for all those J D Power awards, Continental takes good care of it's frequent fliers and has designed the program around them. If you fly a lot and are clever about picking your flights, it is easy to be upgraded to first class often....

Pros: Upgrade benefits and alliances
Cons: Limited on-line updated information

When I started my first job in 1989 and knew I'd be traveling a lot, I signed up for frequent flyer programs with Continental, American, Delta, United, Alaska and USAir. With the partnerships that have evolved over the years, I still am active in my...

Pros: easy to earn miles, never expire
Cons: flights tend to book up

All the airline flyer programs are alike, right? Well, not really. I defected from American's program after losing all my miles after the "time limit". I like Continental as much as I like American. However, I will choose Continental over AA...
