Senior Travelers

Travel Tips

Being a Senior Citizen should not stop you from taking advantage of all of Continental's convenient flights to great locations. However, we also recognize that Senior Citizens often do have special needs and concerns when they fly. Therefore, we wanted to point out a couple of tips that might make your travel easier.

If you feel you need to, please allow yourself extra time to get to the airport and to get from the entrance of the airport to your particular departure gate. Continental recommends that passengers arrive at the airport an hour prior to all domestic flights and two hours prior to all international flights. Please see airport processing times for further information.

If you or someone you are traveling with needs airport assistance because of a disability, Continental is more than happy to provide you with the assistance you need. Aside from airport assistance, we are also happy to help you store and retrieve any assistive devices that you need when you travel.

We look forward to making your flight a more comfortable one in the near future.
