Continental Airlines

I use to fly you guys from Lexington, KY with a layover in Houston, back to my home state of California. You guys had great customer service and offered great snack options on flight. Why did you have to let United in on this? They are sucking the dang money from you guys and now, as a merger, you guys cannot even afford to give customers snacks anymore! This is an outrage?! Why would you merge like that?

I Travel to Houston quite a bit and I find Continental are about the best airline there is, can always get a flight out of Manchester. The Continental Airlines terminal in Houston is fantastic as well, when booking a flight I always check Continental first, and they usually work out the best.
Always good inflight service with attentive staff. On the occasion of my flight being delayed the staff could not do more, issuing vouchers for food.

Continental Airlines is the world’s sixth-​largest airline with more than 3,000 daily departures throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. With more than 41,000 employees, the airline has hubs serving New York, Houston, Cleveland and Guam, and carried approximately 50 million passengers in 2007.
It has frequent flights from LHR and LGW to the United States, often using its HO location, Houston, as a hub for onward travel within the USA. In my case, it was Las Vegas.
Good legroom was available in Economy Class for the transatlantic flight. Food was only so-​so, but that’s par for the course these days. Black mark for being the only scheduled carrier I have ever flown with who charges for alcoholic drinks on an inter-​continental flight; £3 for a can of beer.
Nice personnel, no hold-​ups anywhere along the line, and all-​in-​all a very comfortable experience.
