Continental is committed to providing a safe and comfortable travel experience for all of their customers, including pets. Because they want your pet's flight to be stress-free, they have enhanced their animal acceptance policy to transport pets as cargo. This allows pets that previously traveled as checked baggage to experience increased safeguards, keeping them safe and you reassured. If your pet is traveling in the cargo area on a Continental flight, you will have access to a dedicated 24-hour Live Animal Desk, confirmed booking prior to departure, and the ability to track and trace your pet from origin to destination. Furthermore, weather conditions will be constantly monitored at all times and your pet will get personal handling in climate-controlled vehicles whenever he will be exposed to temperatures above 85�F for more than 45 minutes.

On March 1, 2001, Continental launched a non-stop flight from Newark to Hong Kong, flying over the North Pole, which was the first non-stop long-haul flight service for any airline with flying duration of 16 hours. The September 11, 2001 attacks and the SARS outbreak in Asia caused service to be suspended until August 1, 2003. The launch in 2001 started the battle between Continental, United Airlines and Cathay Pacific over non-stop flights between Hong Kong and New York.

Continental has applied to the Department of Transportation (DOT) for another flight frequency from Houston to Bogotá (BOG). If approved, this would be a red-eye, an overnight flight using a long-range 737. The flight would be especially good for business travelers, contends Continental, giving them the ability to do a full day's work in either Houston or Bogotá.
