We flew Continental in earlier this year. The main reason for using them was to be able to fly from Edinburgh, and also as they came out the cheapest. I booked through Expedia to get a package, though the prices were the same as booking direct. We got off to a rocky start when they changed us from our 2.5 hour connection in ...

...beside the unfriendliest staff worldwide , small seats and VERY bad Breakfast, Lunch(sandwiches) and Dinner,- they do not even offer an entertainment system or power plugin on their 5 -7 hours flights from Newark to San Jose , Costa Rica.... UNBELIEVABLE! Do yourself a favour and take another Airline.

First time flying with Continental ever and I have to say the flight was fine, no issues really at all with it. I am hoping to write quite a few New York reviews, as i'm just back from a holiday of a lifetime there. My first time there and I have fallen in love. I know people say that once is enough for over there and I can ... Read the complete review

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 ... 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 ...

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.

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 ... 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 ...

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 ... 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)

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.TD

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 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 ... 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 ...

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 ...
