Hi
We used Continental from Belfast via Newark last year and it was fine. Our plane was a bit older than some and had no seat back tvs however everything was ok. Met the rudest security guard at Newark I have ever seen. One lady asked him not to shout as he was frightening her children and he told if she didn't like it then don't fly with Continental!! I would allow 3hours out as you have to go through immigration, security, get your luggage off and take it to another place. It looks totally random and we were surprised our luggage arrived in Orlando. Just ask all the time if you're not sure about anything. On the way back we had about 3 hours in between flights however this was needed as we were delayed leaving Orlando - if you miss your connecting flight and it is due to weather you have to put yourself up somewhere for the night at your expense and hopefully get on the next Continental flight to Belfast. Make sure you print your boarding passes 24 hrs before each flight as it means you don't have to check in for your connecting flights - just go to the departure gate (check this hasn't changed). At Belfast Int. they are very professional and you can pick up the Visa Waiver forms at check in. I would fly with them again however having done all the connecting flights even from Dublin I still prefer the direct flight from Belfast.
