Continental Airlines to launch online check-in for Hong Kong and Beijing departures

From March 1, 2006, an online check-in service will be available for Continental Airlines' passengers departing from Hong Kong and Beijing international airports. This convenient and easy-to-use, online check-in service allows passengers to arrive at the airport with their boarding passes and confirmed seat assignments, get through security and to their gate quicker than ever before. In addition, Continental is offering a 1,000 bonus miles (500 miles each way) to passengers who use the online service anytime between March 1 and December 31, 2006.

Continental's Hong Kong and Beijing passengers who hold an e-ticket need to simply logon to www.continental.com or www.continental.com/hk/hke and follow the instructions. Passengers can easily check-in anytime between 60 minutes and 24 hours before the scheduled departure.

"This new service is well-suited to the busy schedule of the modern traveler allowing passengers to bypass the lines at the airport, pass through security and get to the gate faster," said Mark A. Erwin, President, Asia Pacific for Continental Airlines.

"Customers departing from Hong Kong or Beijing international airports need to simply logon, confirm or change their seat assignment and print the boarding pass out or get a faxed copy by choosing "Request Fax" option during the check-in. It is fast, easy and hassle-free," Mr Erwin added.

Continental customers can approach the Continental designated check-in counter to check their baggage and obtain their original boarding pass when departing from Hong Kong or obtain a stamp on their boarding pass when departing from Beijing.
