Being able to arrive at the airport at the last minute and jump on an earlier flight to your destination is a useful service. Continental has chosen to charge $25 or $50 for this service, and some people are willing to pay this much for it. What useful purpose is served to either CO or the customers by making this transaction more difficult?
