New York local office at Penn Station??
Does any one know if there is a Continental ticket office at Penn Station or Grand Central Station? Someone told me there was one at Penn Station - any clues? What about Grand Central? And can they process REVUPS at these locations? Thanks.

Its not in the Acela lounge, its in the main upstairs terminal between the NJ Transit and Amtrak ticket sales, that is, the 8th Ave. end of the terminal. I know they can't do advance check in on int'l flights cuz I tried that once, on the other hand there is a kiosk there as well. And of course you can take the very convenient train to Ewr right there, runs roughly every 20 minutes, time to terminal from Penn Station about 30 minutes, assuming the monorail is running ok.

However...dig around and there's some info. about a soon-to-be implemented program where you can confirm your earlier flight on the same day for a small fee (like Delta and Northwest). On the phone, by the way.

There is a CO office in Penn like mentioned above, but i've never seen it with more than one rep. Also be prepared to wait a LONG time. Took me an hour of waiting with only two people in front of me.

Yes! I miss that, it made life so much easier. It has been replaced by a sign at the ticket counter that says "We can't assist you with check in, you must check in at the airport."
