Beginning 17 March 2010, Continental Airlines
will offer customers the option of purchasing, at check in,
premium seat assignments for unreserved economy-class seats that
feature extra legroom.
Continental’s OnePass Elite frequent flyer
members and their traveling companions will be able to continue to
assign themselves seats with extra legroom in economy class
without charge.
“Our customers want more choices,” said Jim
Compton, Continental’s executive vice president and chief
marketing officer. “Seats with additional legroom are higher-value
seats, and we want to offer them to customers who recognize that
value.”
Depending on the type of aircraft and row, seats
with extra legroom provide customers with a minimum of seven
additional inches of leg space. Customers will be able to purchase
these seats at continental.com or at the airport kiosk during the
normal check-in period, beginning at 24 hours prior to departure
of the first flight in an itinerary. Pricing for the premium seats
will vary depending on a number of factors, including the length
of the flight and market.
Continental joins several other U.S. and
international airlines in offering customers the option of
purchasing premium seat assignments.
