Continental Airlines Interactive Route Map
It looks like a new addition to co.com. Here is a link to it.

That appears to be a 3rd party route map, not part of co.com. I cannot find it on co.com at all. It includes codeshare routes which makes it a bit less useful for figuring out where CO actually flies.

ETA: http://delta.innosked.com exists, too.

The map is actually fairly accurate. Unlike the NWA route map, the Continental one does not make up routes. The partner thing is kind of nice, but it would be better if the map identified who the partner was.

I see it there now. I actually looked there before posting it but the small print didn't really catch my eye.

Pick a codeshare city (e.g. FAT) and choose show direct routes. You get no results found. Picking a city that is served by CO and choosing to show connecting routes just lights up the whole map. It isn't incredibly useful in either of those scenarios.

Once you narrow things down it is pretty good, but getting there isn't particularly easy.

At least it appears to be more accurate than the interactive reward chart that they tried a while back.

Direct Routes
Interesting and misleading as it relates to 'Direct' routes from Houston to Europe. The only options to draw route maps are 'direct flights' and 'connecting flights'. Direct flights from Houston to Europe show LGW, AMS, CDG (all current non-stop flights) and then MAD, FCO and FRA.

I know the distinction between non-stop and direct flights, but I believe it is misleading to draw a route in a map that goes non-stop between IAH and MAD, FCO and FRA when that option involves a stop changing planes in EWR.

A more accurate choice would be to show 'Non-stop flights'.

Well, it's at least right with regards to Venice. The only way to get to/from there on CO is a codeshare to AMS.

^ About time. Those PDF files had no place being the only way to look at routes in 2009.

Well, that is the only way to get there with a CO code but there are at least three other easy ways to get there that I can think of - via CDG, FCO or on the JFK-VCE nonstop that Delta operates.

And once you're on a partner flight the code on it doesn't really matter.

Well, that's what Co.com is willing to sell you, it wont even try to offer VCE one-way.

It does. It even has all the Gulfstream operated routes in there. You just have to zoom in enough that it isn't covered by the dots for PBI and MIA.

At least we don't have to look up schedules with the phone-book OAG anymore.
