Continental Outlines New OnePass Fees; At Least There Are No Fuel Surcharges
Jul 17th, 2008 | By Jared BlankJoining the ranks of just about everyone else, Continental has rolled out a few new changes for their OnePass program and you can probably guess that they won’t involve making it easier and cheaper to fly for free.
In short:
- No more holding reservations – you reserve, you purchase. On a plus note, you have 24 hours to cancel.
- Fees to re-deposit miles or change a reward ticket are now $150. Yes, those same fees used to be about $50.
- Want to book a reward ticket less than 21 days in advance? That’ll cost ya $75. For some reason, I find this one the most annoying.
- And Continental’s much beloved upgrade co-pays have increased (you can see the details in the link).
What can ya do? It’s the new reality. Or you can fly Southwest (though good luck getting a free business class ticket to Singapore on Southwest).
“(though good luck getting a free business class ticket to Singapore on Southwest).”
… and good luck getting a saver business class ticket to anywhere with CO NonePass as well.
(sorry, couldn’t resist) :D
