continental airlines

[ketchupkid]

hi does anybody know if any who the sister companies of continental airlines are. due to them over selling a flight i had to change my itinerary but was offered compensation which i was told can be used on any continental flight or flight with a sister company. i cant afford to go to america again so i just wondered if they flew from the uk to anywhere in europe but i cant seem to find the information on the continental airlines website. thanks for any help

It's not clear what is meant by Continental's 'sister airlines'. I can't find anything, on either the Continental website or on Wikipedia, to suggest that Continental trade under a different name or are part of a larger company embracing several airlines.

However, clicking on the 'SkyTeam' logo, on the Continental homepage, takes you here:
http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/content/c ompany/alliance/skyteam.aspx?SID=A0ED41B51C9C4 3CBB81B4AE96D03FA1F
That link suggests that your compensation might be valid for travel with KLM Royal Dutch, Air France, Alitalia, CSA Czech or Aeroflot. (Contact the airlines to check).

Hoping this helps,

Chris

I don't know if this is what you meant but Virgin Atlantic is a codeshare partner of Continental Airlines.

In the U.S., with a lot of service to Europe and the Far East, Northwest Airlines is a major partner... code share... with Continental... as is Delta Airlines...

Sorry should of put, Virgin also codeshare with bmi, which is one of the largest european airlines.
