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.
Continental is a member of the Star Alliance®. The miles you earn on Continental can be accrued in Mileage Plus®. 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 will earn a 50% EQM/EQS bonus.
Present your Mileage Plus number when making reservations and you can earn:
The miles accrued are determined by the operating airline. Please note that the booking class shown on your ticket may differ from the booking code relevant for mileage accrual.
Ensure your Mileage Plus number is in your reservation at check-in. But if you do not receive your miles, go to the Flight Mileage Credit page to request your mileage credit. You can request miles for past flights no more than six (6) months after the flight date.
