Did Continental ever become an "official" ME airline?

[BettyCv]

I remember reading a few weeks ago on this board that Continental had not actually signed a contract yet to be an official ME airline. I realize that we can still use ME, but would like to know if we'll be able to use it on the way back (without taking our luggage on the bus, etc.) Have they signed yet?

TIA

As far as I know, Continental has been on "the list" from the beginning. Check out http://www.mousetyme.com/MAGICALEXPRESS.html

CleveRocks, that is what I thought, too, until I saw the post I was referring to. I did find a copy of it...

All airlines are participating when you fly into Orlando. You will not have to handle your luggage if you are using ME.


When you go to return home the participating airline will check you in and issue a boarding pass so you can bypass the ticket counter and head for security.

If your airline is not participating on the way back home you will need to check in at the airport to receive your boarding pass and you have to handle your luggage onto the bus and at the airport you will have to check it.
