Please include the flight departure and arrival times in the initial Continental Itinerary Confirmation email that is sent immediately upon booking a reservation. I frequently need to forward my itinerary to others at the company, and having to wait for the official receipt email to show up a couple hours later with all the info is a pain.

Not sure if anyone cares, but I emailed OnePass and asked for my entire elite status history since 1994.

1998 ELITE BALANCE : 79293
1998 ELITE SEG COUNT: 71
01/01/98 * GOLD EARNED PRIOR YR * 65,822 55
04/12/98 ELITE LEVEL ONE 22,097
07/14/98 ELITE LEVEL TWO 36,167
09/25/98 ELITE LEVEL THREE 51,450
06/30/98 INSTANT BRONZE
09/11/98 INSTANT SILVER
11/18/98 INSTANT GOLD


I thought someone out there might find it interesting how internally it appears OP calls it ELITE LEVEL ONE, TWO THREE. Maybe its just me as a computer guy.

YMMV

Booked flight tonight CLE-EWR-CDG during website maintenance window - site extremely slow. After waiting eons, got TWO confirmation emails, different res numbers, but very close in sequence (first 4 "random" letters matched!) ... and no I didn't double-click or refresh anything, I'm a web developer, I know better than that :D

Tried to cancel bogus res which had no seats assigned, but system timed out with "Gateway Timeout - The proxy server did not receive a timely response from the upstream server."

Will check again tomorrow when system is operating normally and make sure I didn't buy two tickets to France instead of one !

Like I have a chance in hell of pulling it off, I'm trying to book a F award trip from FLL to some remote Pacific island over Thanksgiving week.

After putting in the city pairs, co.com returns the following message for just about any destination in Micronesia that I enter...

Is this an error (as I suspect) or just by design?

Is CO.com completely down now?

Thye following message is on each co.com page:

"Continental.com is currently undergoing maintenance, you may experience slower response times. We apologize for the inconvenience"

I have tried various pages with some pages OK and others coming back "error"

Why do this stuff during the North American day when website probably has heaviest usage :confused:

I doubt this was planned.

Hours posted on the website for the ATL PC are incorrect. Was there on Wednesday at 7pm expecting it open until 8:30pm but doors were locked. IIRC, the sign on the door says M-W closes at 6:45pm.

On this flight - shows booked 4, but 6 seats are assigned. Originally booked 4, then 2 upgrades processed and the booking remained at 4? Seats can be blocked, but then they should be reflected in the Booked quantity.

Fixed before 2pm. Now shows 6 booked. Thanks

The auto check-in feature on co.com did not work for me or my travel mate this evening. We are both on CO1077 tomorrow PHL-IAH. We did not receive a check-in email and had to manually check in on co.com

PDA site glitch?
 

[Update: Now the main site is hosed and the PDA site is OK.... guess someone is doing something]

PDA site - upgrade and flight standby lists not showing booking info... shows at the main www site... for example, on the main site one sees:

Flight Standby List:
First Class: Full |
Economy Class: Full

or...

Upgrade Standby List:
Capacity: 16 | Booked: Full | Checked In: 8

From pda site:

I have a flight booked as a Y fare that's earning 100% EQM instead of 150%. Please see below:

New York/Newark, NJ (EWR - Liberty) Arrive:

When searching flights out of EWR, U.S. Helicopter logo and search tip appears.

"Search tip: To use US Helicopter service between Newark and Manhattan, select the Wall Street (JRB) or Midtown Manhattan (TSS) heliport."

I was just going to post the same thing. The Booking info for F on the upgrade standby list is not showing consistently. The co.com site is.
You need to go out to something else and keep trying to get the booking number and checked in number to show on the PDA site.

RSS feed wayback machine...
 

The RSS feed available on the news and offers page (http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...OPPROMOFEATURE) links to long gone promos.

For example, the third item in the list ... bold none the less:
"Find your next reward flight at 10% Off"

Would be nice but for the 2004 expiration date.

As an aside, I understand the complexity of implementing this, but if you're going to do a news and offers RSS feed, it'd be nice to include targeted offers.
