Continental Airlines Reviews

I flew with a friend to Peru and back in August on Continental (via Newark) and we chose Continental because I was on a tight budget and they were the cheapest flights we could find - huge mistake! At the time we thought that the gap between the flights was too small to make the connection, but we rang Continental and were assured that ...  Read the complete review

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 means to get from here to there. MY AIR TRAVEL "DRUTHERS" When I travel, ...  Read the complete review

We flew Continental Airlines, Manchester to Newark, in August this year. It was just a one way flight since we were sailing home from New York. We checked in on line 24 hours before the flight and were relieved to get 4 seats next to each other. One of our party was our 2 year old son who was flying for the first time and whilst we might ...  Read the complete review

Continental Airlines are really a tale of woe. I have never had such a bad few flights as I had one our recent trip to the States. Outbound Journey ************** Let me say to begin, I knew this journey would be a long stressful one, due to monetary restrictions we'd had to chose an indirect flight to Florida, so we ...  Read the complete review

I have flown with Continental three times, each time was the Manchester to Newark transatlantic flight. I have since heard that Continental have had some negative reviews, but with it being an American carrier I didn't really know a lot about them prior to booking so I had no pre-conceived expectations before the flight. The ...  Read the complete review

MAN - EWR - MIA Flew contintental to miami via newark, very pleasant outbound flight across the atlantic. Food was good, entertainment was excellent with a selection for new and older movies. TV programmes such as CSI's and NCIS - I love my amercain cop shows. Was lucky enough to have an empty seat next to me so plently of room. Had to collect my luggage at Newark and take to next gate - unsure why this was ( didn't have to do this on my return flight ). Slept on the return journey to Manchester. Flight attendants were friendly and attentive. Would fly contintental again due to value for money, but prefer British Airways.

As I have gone on about numerous times, I have recently returned from a nice trip to Houston, Texas with my fiancé. As we went for WrestleMania, all of our accommodation and bits were included. The only additional we had to arrange were our flights. Booking and Price ---------------------- Now after spending probably way ...  Read the complete review

Having read a few reviews on dooyoo and similar sites where many people have been whole-heartedly unsatisfied with Continental Airlines, I was totally surprised at this, as I couldn't really fault them when I flew with them on a return flight to NYC in January of this year. The check-in was very quick and painless, if a little strict, ...  Read the complete review

During the 2008 calendar year I have visited 20 countries, circumnavigated the world three times, and flown on 9 airlines, 6 full service, and 3 of the budget variety. Recently I flew from London to Florida via Houston, Texas, to join a cruise over Christmas, on Continental Airlines. First (and last) time on Continental. Continental does not seem ...  Read the complete review

Horrible staff. Not child friendly. They did not move a finger to help me -a mother with an 18 month old trying to install an FAA certified car seat. Very cramped seating.

Customer service represantative response when called about this complaint says: "The flight attendants are not required to help you because of liability". What a crappy attitude!

I will never fly Conitinental again.

As with all airlines and especially in the busy months, check-in was a bit slow. They check-in first and business first classes and then proceed to us economy folks, which didn't bother us in the slightest. We flew from Belfast to Newark to Orlando International and home again costing around £500 each. The great thing about ...  Read the complete review

The worst flight of my life - never ever again.
Rudest staff, cramped seating, food that was the the worst.
I asked for water and was asked if it was a medical emergency and was apparenty going to take off. It took them a couple of hours to sort out their problem - a dinky 757 for cross atlantic flight.
NEVER AGAIN! I will stick to better airlines.
If I had to give points between 0-10 (i would give it a whopping 0)

For my trip to Central America I booked with a small group tour company and they used Continental Airlines, whom I had not flown with before. Most similar UK companies also used this airline for such destination. A quick search on the web showed why - it was the only major airline that flew to the necessary airports with only one stop over, as ...  Read the complete review

On May 24, 2007, my uncle, his wife and I flew by Continental airlines and it was awful. They overbooked our flight causing us to be stuck in Texas for two extra days. The next day the problem was supposed to be fixed. Not. we spent hours in the airport on standby. When we made it to CA, they did not have our luggage on the plane. We still don't have it.

Flight C021 - Manchester (UK) - Newark Liberty in Economy. Quite a small plane (757-200) and quite cramped (about 31" seat pitch I believe) - in my opinion, too small for a long trans-atlantic flight. Even though plane was apparently made in 1999 (according to plate in toilets), was starting to look a little worn in ...  Read the complete review

I am a chronically ill person. On my flight aboard Continental Airlines to CA. last month to a M.A.D.D convention, I encountered the rudest attendant ever. I will never fly this airline again!!!!!!!!!!

I booked the family to go to Nassau from Gatwick Easter 2006 via Expedia with Continental on the basis of a previously good experience and the fact that they were the cheapest! Overall I found the experience underwhelming with service curt and charmless. Flying out, the headsets for the entertainment didn't work which was irritating however the ...  Read the complete review

I have traveled with continental for a good number of years now ,and have seen the company going downhill, loosing a lot of the standeds they were well known for, i suppose its penny pinching and making more profits, but to us ,the flyers ,this is why we choose to fly with them, the staff have got more too do, but a smile never hurt any one, ...  Read the complete review

Well, my first time travelling internationally on my own! Hurrah! But, since the 7/7 bombings, I got recommended to go as an unaccompanied minor. Getting a connecting flight, from London to Newark, then Newark to Rochester, cost me $90, but it was most definitely $90 worth spending. Continental designates children from ages 5-14 as ...  Read the complete review
