Thank you for choosing Continental Airlines. Your purchase is confirmed. You will be promptly notified once the internal processing of your reservation has been finalized so that you can request additional receipts, export to Outlook, refund or change your flight, view/change seats, check-in, or e-mail or print your itinerary.
I booked a reward flight on Monday. Today is Friday. What gives?
Point of Order: Shouldn't "You will be promptly notified once..." be "You will be notified promptly once..."
This happened to me when I upgraded using miles just before Thanksgiving. When no confirmation arrived the next day, I called OnePass and the agent told me not to worry, but there were 387 people ahead of me in the queue to be ticketed
About 48 hours later, I received the confimation email.
