Continental the Latest to join in flight cutting fun

Post by flip-flop »

We are booked through Delta FF miles but on a continental flight. So far it is still there, but just FYI for those flying Continental to keep an eye out.

I make it a rule to check my flight at least 1x a month, I just put a little reminder on my outlook calendar. It only takes a second online.

Delta can be REALLY annoying with tweaking their flights by minutes, which isn't really a problem but all the seat selections (at least for us cheap/freebie seats) are cleared when they do so. Again, not a huge deal to me if I wasn't flying with kids .. but seats together is kind of crucial in my case.

I saw this online today as well. We're booked with Continental at the end of October. I really hope they don't eliminate the direct flight on Saturdays EWR to STT. I guess like you said I will keep checking between then and now.

SusanNJ, are you leaving on the 26th? Don't worry, that flight is still on, lol. I checked it this a.m.

Flip-flop,
That's weird. We almost exclusively fly Delta (always in cheap seats or on FF miles) and I have to say my seat selections have never been cleared due to time changes. Our October flights have moved a few minutes a couple of times since we booked in January. Are you sure the equipment isn't changing as well as the time?

It is possible for the first leg of the flight I am referring to but not the 2nd. Same plane, flight number, everything...just slightly different times. Supremely frustrating. They eventually cancelled ALL flights on the day we were scheduled to depart anyway ;) Oh well, I got an extra day of vacation out of it! This was between March - November of 2007. It might have just been a fluky flight!

And please don't get me wrong ... other than BA they are my fav! For now.
