Throughout the Vietnam War Continental provided extensive cargo and troop transportation for United States Army and Marine forces to Asian and the Pacific bases. As a result of Continental's experience in Pacific operations, the carrier formed subsidiary Air Micronesia, picking up island hopping routes between Saipan/Guam and Honolulu, which Continental operated with 727 aircraft (this unit is currently known as Continental Micronesia). In 1968 a new aircraft livery was launched, the orange and gold cheatlines adorned with a black global circle on the jet's tails. The marketing slogan adopted in the late 1960s and used through the early 70s was, "The Proud Bird with the Golden Tail."[4][3]

Continental allows dogs to be carried in the aircraft cabin on all U.S. domestic flights (except to/from Hawaii). Only one pet per passenger is allowed in the cabin. Your dog's carrier must fit completely under the seat in front of you and remain there at all times aboard the aircraft. The maximum dimensions of the pet carrier are 22"x14"x9" and it must be carried in lieu of a carry-on bag. Only soft-sided kennels are allowed in the BusinessFirst cabins of Boeing 767 aircraft and the kennel must not exceed 16"x12"x8.75". No oxygen will be administered to a pet in the event of an emergency.

If it's a continent, chances are it's accessible via Continental Airlines. A leading US carrier, Continental serves about 135 domestic and 125 international markets from hubs in Cleveland, Houston, and Newark, New Jersey. Subsidiary Continental Micronesia serves the western Pacific from Guam, and regional carriers operating as Continental Express and Continental Connection extend the airline's network. Overall, Continental operates a fleet of some 370 mainline jets and 270 regional jets. The carrier supplements its offerings through code-sharing with fellow members of the SkyTeam alliance, which includes carriers such as Air France, Alitalia, Delta, KLM, and Northwest Airlines, as well as with other airlines.

Continental has achieved an almost 35 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption per revenue passenger mile flown over the past 10 years. This is due in large part to the efforts of its employees in streamlining operational procedures and to an investment of more than $12 billion to acquire 270 fuel-efficient aircraft and related equipment. Continental ... has reduced by approximately 75 percent nitrogen oxide emissions from ground equipment at the carrier's largest hub, in Houston, through switching to electric ground service equipment and other new technology. This technology is now being tested for use in cold climates.
