Continental Airlines Program Change: H Fares Now Earn More Towards Elite Status
Posted March 8, 2004
Now travelers flying on Continental's Y and H business fares can earn Elite status faster.
Beginning March 3, 2004, OnePass members who fly on a Economy Class H fare on Continental will earn 150% Elite Qualification Miles and two Elite Qualification Points. The Elite qualification earnings for H fares are now equivalent to that of our unrestricted Y fare.
The increased benefits will be applied to all qualifying flights beginning March 1, 2004. Retroactive credit will be applied to your account.
The chart below details the change to our fare class structure and the way you'll earn OnePass miles within these fare classes.*
