Continental Update
Regarding my previous post about Continental Airlines treatment at the Cleveland airport :
I received a call from a customer service rep. She was very apologetic about the treatment I had received at the hands of their agents in Cleveland and offered to replace the gear I left behind in the airport lobby or a free travel voucher. I must admit they were gracious about the situation and assured me this is not the way they would usually handle a problem like this. I realize in a perfect world I would have read the new policy and followed it but instead relied on the Continental agent's previous actions and made the assumption was it conformed to size limits. The Service Rep agreed that since this is a new policy, a return leg, and the bag had been accepted on previous flights, the Cleveland agents should have checked it through and provided a copy of the written policy so that this would not be repeated. I think that was the proper solution. Continental stepped up and made the situation right and that shows good will. There are lots of good folks at Continental, I just ran into a coupla grouches in Cleveland. Te Canaille |

The max weight was dropped from 70 to 50 pounds per piece. The maximum measurement was 62 inches before and remains at 62 inches. You need to get a life ! The Customer Service Rep was the third Continental employee to tell me this is a new policy. Since I didn't read the policy prior to recently, I can only rely on what I'm told and I prefer to take their word rather than yours. Do you spend your Saturday nights reading airline policies or do you just like to keep dewelling on unimportant and obsure issues such as this ? Te |

The maximum measurement was 62 inches before and remains at 62 inches. Not sure what new policy Canailie referred to either. But the 50 lb per piece limit does NOT apply to Elite members -- there must be zillions of those since it doesn't take much flying to be a Sliver Elite. Current (from CO webpage a minute ago) policy: http://www.continental.com/travel/po...31765A33403DF7 # OnePass Elite Members Economy Class Free Baggage Acceptance # 2 Checked Bags: Maximum 70 lbs (32kg) and 62 linear inches (157 cm) ( # total length + width + height) per piece. -- Bob. |

I am just trying to get clarification on what exactly the new policy is, so people will know when they go. What is the new policy?? It's not the size limits as I have seen people forced to pay for larger items before on CO. Are you trying to say that the limit wasn't 62 inches before? I noted previously, and I even gave you a link from an older newsgroup article showing the size as 62 inches for years. |
