Continental.com Changes
Changes on continental.com
(Posted March 10, 2004)
We've added some features and combined some options to make your experiences productive and efficient.
Use continental.com Check-in
Now when you sign in to continental.com and go to My Account or Manage Reservations we will notify you if you can check in for a flight. Just look for the "check-in" button, which will appear within 30 hours of your eligible flight. This link will allow you to check in and print your boarding pass. Once you arrive at the airport you can proceed to security and go straight to the gate.
Flight Search
We've simplified the Flight Search feature by including fare prices with the Schedule search option. The new Schedule option replaces the Combined option. The flights are listed by departure time and now include the lowest fare for the entire trip. As always, you may continue to search for flights by lowest price using our Price search option.
Alternate Travel Dates
When searching by Price or by Schedule, you are provided with flights and fares for the requested dates of travel. Now, continental.com can search for lower fares one day before and one day after your original selected travel dates. Look for the optional check box on the Flight Search page. If the fares found on alternate dates are lower than fares offered on your originally selected dates you will be provided with up to three alternate fares and dates. If the fares found on alternate dates are equal to or higher than the fares offered for the originally selected dates of travel, no options will be shown.
