I don't see any posts about Continental and was wondering if anyone has experience flying with them? What can you tell me? Any info would be great!! Thanks all!

Our family has flown Continental out of Newark 4 times over the past 3 years and we have never had any problems.

We fly Continental all the time.

We fly them frequently. They are fine. I had a rude gate agent in Newark once, but it didn't deter me from flying them again.

I like to fly Continental from here to the mainland USA. They probably have the best set up on their 767's flying out of here. Nice little TV's and food at no extra charge. This sure makes a difference on the long flights. The crews are some of the best in my experience.

Also, Continental has a great Petsafe program if flying a pet. They keep your pet in climate controlled areas at all times. My brother's dog even earned Onepass miles when flying here to New Jersey and back. I thought that was pretty good.

I had a short notice trip to the Orlando area a few weeks back and flew Continental from EWR to DAB for pretty cheap. The plane was comfortable (a 737-500) and the flight was on time leaving and early arriving. It was also half the price to go to DAB versus MCO and the rental cars were also cheaper - they give you the keys, you walk 100 feet outside and pick up your car and drive off - no booth to check out through or any of that. Even though Disney is about an hour and ten minutes away, the easy in and out of DAB was worth it given Disney wasn't my first priority on this trip.
