Arrived at Ithica to a short queue, which seemed to take the check clerk a long time to deal with. The flight back to Newark was listed as delayed. It took some time to determine that as we were flying internationally with Virgin our bags could be through checked to London. However that saved us $50. Security was thorough but polite. Flight left about an hour late, with apologies. Short hop but time for a soft drink and arrived at Newark in plenty of time to meet our connecting flight.

We recently flew down to Fort Myers for a Christmas vacation from Newark. Boarding at the aircraft was quick and we were soon onboard.

I was pleased to see that each seat had IFE, even if you had to pay the small fee to use it during the 2hr 30mins flight.

The seats were quite comfy and the legroom adequate. During the short flight, 2 drink runs were conducted by very friendly crew.

The flight went very quickly and we landed in RSW 55mins early. All in all, a very punctual and good flight.

Continental provides excellent economy class service on domestic flights. The entertainment offering could be improved to match Jet Blue.

Flew From ATL-IAH one of the most uncomfortable aircraft I have flown on. Seats were very cramped.

Continental - New York - Mexico City

Standard Economy seats. A bit crammed for a four our flight, but ok. Tragic food (worst ever on a plane), friendly staff. The in-flight entertainment was a happy surprise, and was much appreciated. Even it was showed on rather small screens above every third seatrow.
