Continental Airlines
Continental Airlines is a positively huge presence in the airline industry not only in the United States, but worldwide as well. Continental Air Lines is the fourth largest airline industry in the country, coming in behind American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and others. It closely competes with the other large airline carriers in the United States but consistently offers cheap air flights, whether they be round trip destinations or otherwise.

Continental Airlines was founded in 1934 under the name Varney Speed Lines, named after one of the original founders of the company and they were headquartered in El Paso, Texas at that time. Over the years, Continental Airlines was acquired by a different party and picked up various routes all across the continental United States. In 1937, the new owner of Varney Speed Lines changed the name of the great airline company to Continental Airlines and a legend was born.

Continental Airlines now operates with the help of over 360 planes headed to one of nearly 300 destinations all over the world. Continental air travel may not be as cheap as its competitors, Delta and Northwest airlines, but they do offer great airfares and even offer some of the regular discounts that many other airline carriers do not, such as student and military discounts, or even senior citizens’ discounts.

On the Continental Airlines website, you can view air flight information, check out or make flight reservations, check out schedules and inquire about Continental Airlines international flights.

Continental Airlines planes are fairly low key on the runway. The body of Continental Planes is usually painted mostly white with the words CONTINENTAL AIRLINES emblazoned across the side of the plane. As with many other airline companies, the tail fin is the most decorative part, with a part of a globe and some blue and white coloring on the tail.

IF you are a loyal customer or just one of those people who care, Continental Airlines does offer a frequent flyer mile program called OnePass. It was implemented in 1985 and has people getting free flights for spending money and taking trips like no other before.
