The worst offender, though, is Continental "... have a nice stay in XXXXX, or wherever your final destination may take you." That doesn't even make any sense.
I'm no expert, but I think these are grammatically correct.

I know, a destination can't take you anywhere. Neither can a dead horse. But it's not grammar that holds it back.
