Continental - Cheap Flight

I am 43 miles from Elite status. Will Continental round me up? If not, can someone suggest a really cheap flight between now and Dec 31? I looked around and could not find a really cheap flight. Thx.

You can call OPSC and ask for the bump. If that fails, where are flying from?

Definitely you have to call Elite Line (behind your card). Politely explain your situation to the Custome Service Officer. Most likely they will let you be Elite.
Good luck!

I don't think the OP has a card, but CO phone agent should be able to transfer or provide # to One Pass Service Center.
