Continental is the fourth largest airline in the United States with primary hubs in Houston, Cleveland and Newark. Continental operates more than 2,700 flights each day to more than 240 destinations in North America, Central and South America, Europe and Asia.
As of October 27, 2009, Continental became a member of the Star Alliance®. The miles you earn on Continental can be accrued in MileagePlus. And the flight miles you earn qualify toward elite status. You earn one Elite Qualifying Mile (EQM) for each flight mile you earn and one Elite Qualifying Segment (EQS) for each segment you fly.
When you fly on Continental with a paid ticket in First Class (F), Business Class (J, C, D, Z) and unrestricted Economy (Y, B) you earn a 50% EQM/EQS bonus.
Present your MileagePlus® number when making reservations and you can earn:

As a MileagePlus elite member, flights on Continental earn the elite level mileage bonus (redeemable mileage credit):

The miles accrued are determined by the operating airline. Please note that the booking class shown on your ticket may differ from the booking class relevant for mileage accrual.
