 Low Fare Guarantee

Forget those so-called low-fare travel websites and spend less time planning and searching for flights. When it comes to finding the lowest Continental Airlines fare online, we guarantee you will find it on continental.com. In fact, if you find a fare for the same flight, itinerary and cabin at a price that is lower than the fare offered on continental.com by $10 or more, we'll make up the difference and give you a USD $100 Electronic Travel Certificate. And not only will you find the lowest fare at continental.com, but you’ll never pay a service fee for booking online.

 

 

Here's how this offer works:

·         Purchase your ticket at continental.com (with a qualifying billing address).

·         If you find a published retail price online, for the same Continental flight, itinerary and cabin, that is lower than the fare purchased on the same day of your original Continental purchase by $10 or more, contact your local Continental reservations office and file your claim.

·         We'll refund the difference and give you a USD $100 Electronic Travel Certificate toward a future Continental flight if we can verify the lower online fare.

We've made continental.com one of the most user-friendly travel sites anywhere. You can manage all your flight, hotel and car rental reservations and save time by checking in online for your flight.
