Continental Airlines
In July 2004, Continental celebrated its 70th Anniversary. Once known as "The Proud Bird With The Golden Tail," Continental boasts a long and distinctive history that began on July 15, 1934 with single-engine Lockheed aircraft on dusty runways in the American Southwest.
Since 1998, Continental's marketing slogan has been "Work Hard, Fly Right."
Continental operates flights to destinations throughout the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific regions. Together with its subsidiaries it has more than 3,000 daily departures, serving over 151 domestic and 190 international destinations and has 85,200 employees (as of March 2007).[4] Principal operations are from its three hubs at Newark Liberty International Airport, George Bush Intercontinental Airport and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Continental Micronesia, a wholly owned subsidiary, operates routes around Micronesia from its hub at Antionio B Won Pat International Airport in Guam and connects the Micronesian region with destinations in East and Southeast Asia, Honolulu and Cairns, Australia.
OnePass
Established in 1987, OnePass is the frequent flyer program frequent flyer program for Continental Airlines, Copa Airlines and AeroRepublica. OnePass offers regular travelers the privilege to obtain free tickets, First Class upgrades on flights, discounted membership for its airport lounge ( The President's Club), and other types of rewards. Customers accumulate miles from flight segments they fly or through Continental Airlines partners. OnePass elite tiers are Silver, Gold, and Platinum Elite which have benefits such as free upgrades, mileage bonus, priority check-in, priority boarding, and much more. Continental previously had a frequent flyer program prior to OnePass, which was started not long after American Airlines started its frequent flyer program in 1981 and when most large United States airlines followed, but this was merged with Eastern Airlines' frequent flyer program in 1987 to form OnePas. The name "OnePass" refers to the ability to accumulate miles on two major airlines, namely Continental and Eastern, in one frequent flyer program.
