Continental Airlines

Sitting on the airplane and waiting for ground crew decide who is going what (This is based on Pilot announce on the PA system).
I guess they don’t know when the airplane is coming in.

Never again will I fly with Unreliable Air. I was delayed by eight hours by uninformative staff who didn’t inform the people as to what the delay was and then was treated rudely by attendants on the plane. They conveniently were out of bassinets for my 10 month old after my arguments with them about being unprofessional and as a result my baby had to sleep on the floor. Not surprisingly he got sick after we arrived at our destination. Then after complaining and getting a small voucher, we purchased tickets to a different city. Our return flight was again delayed by five hours and the staff was terribly rude. Fortunately my baby was not with us but I saw a mother with two small children who were not allowed to pre board. Ridiculous. I will never again fly this awful airline.

My carry-​on bag fits in your overhead compartment. Know how I know? Because I flew out to Houston on your airline with the same bag. Also, because I’ve been flying with the same bag for the past three years, and it fits on every plane I’ve been on.
But now when I’m trying to fly back on the same plane, it won’t fit? Apparently in the few days I was in Texas, you (or United, I don’t really care which one of you is at fault here post-​merger) tightened your bag restrictions? Now me and every other person that purchased a bag specifically to carry onto planes has to check it because it doesn’t fit in the tiny metal frame that the horribly rude woman near security insisted I attempt to stuff my bag into?
Do you realize you’re forcing me to write ridiculous, rhetorical, run-​on sentence questions?
I could understand if you actually got new planes, and suddenly the overhead compartments were too small to fit my luggage… but it’s the same old, crappy plane, with the same awfully uncomfortable seats. And it’s a bit galling that every carry-​on bag I saw was the same size as mine (or bigger) and it fit easily up top, and that I had to waste an hour of my life checking it and retrieving it from baggage claim on the other end.
And it cost me $ 25. Right, I almost forgot that this is a blatant money-​grubbing scheme. And if you are just going to grub for my money, at least make it clear on your website that you’re going to do so. Apparently «any customers traveling on full fare Economy Class tickets get up to two checked bags free.» The $ 500 I paid to fly to Houston certainly seemed like a full fare to me.
But I’m not mad. I just want to know why anyone would possibly choose your airline over a competitor when you force me to check bags unnecessarily, your seats are less comfortable, your employees are ruder, you charge for things your competitors don’t (checked bags, in-​flight TV when you even have it)…and so on, and so on.

This is by FAR the worst airline imaginable, especially if you are a pet owner. I had made the decision to move out to California, the San Francisco area, from Western NY. This was a huge move for me and my canine compaion, Sabre. At the time I was unaware of the possible dangers of having a pet flying in cargo, but I had done this to get him to California with me. Well at the airport, of course there was a layover (because something ALWAYS goes wrong with this airline) but I was reassured by the airline that I would make my connecting flight NO PROBLEM. I had asked repeatedly, and it got to the point I would half an hour to get to my next gate from the first flight. Well of course when i had gotten there, I had missed my connecting flight by mere seconds. Well my dog had made the flight, and I had not. Why they wouldn’t hold the plane for a MOMENT, when I had a damn dog flying WITH me is beyond me. I was absolutely livid, I had to spend a night in NY, because I could not fly out until the next day, leaving my poor dog locked up his kennel for over 30+ hours. I am fortunate that I knew someone in San Francisco to pick him up, making it only a mere 25 hours or so he was locked up. They treated him like he was a damn suitcase, not a living creature. They were rude, and heartless, and I WILL NEVER FLY WITH THEM AGAIN. They are consistantly nasty, and every employee looks miserable. PLEASE, IF YOU ARE A PET OWNER, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE FLY WITH YOUR BELOVED ANIMAL ON THIS AIRLINE. THEY DO NOT CARE IF YOUR ANIMAL LIVES OR DIES, AND THEY CERTAINLY DONT CARE IF YOU ARE STRANDED IN AN AIRPORT FOR HOURS ON END. For my inconvience they offered me a lunch vouture and an overnight bag! Its an absolute joke. Worst experience of my life. I fly at least once a month, and will never fly with them again.

I like em. Since their hub is CLE I fly with them a lot.

I just recently started flying Continental Airlines. I typically stick to United, JetBlue and Southwest.
They seem to have a lot of flights in/​out of LGA. The prices seem pretty typical compare to the other big dogs. I don’t love the gate at LGA… but I think it’s mostly the airport’s fault and not the airline.
They are not a lot of perks on the flight. Bring your own food and entertainment and you’ll be fine.
