Continental Airlines goes Daily on Hong Kong - New York route

Continental Airlines has increased its nonstop flights between Hong Kong and New York Newark Liberty International Airport to seven
times a week.

Continental launched nonstop service linking the two global financial hubs in 2001. In response to the growing demand for flight service between Hong Kong and the Big Apple, the airline decided to expand its existing service from six times a week to daily.

Continental Airlines uses Newark Liberty International Airport as its entry point to New York. Newark is the closest airport to downtown Manhattan and is only 26 minutes from Manhattan by train. With Continental’s recently announced partnership with U.S. Helicopter, Continental passengers can use the helicopter shuttle service between Newark Liberty and midtown or downtown Manhattan. The ride only takes eight-minutes. This service not only provides time-sensitive business travelers a fast and convenient option to travel in and out of Manhattan, but also offers passengers a spectacular view of the city.

In addition, to offer travelers greater convenience, Continental Airlines has resumed its In- Town Check-in service in Hong Kong. Passengers who use the Airport Express can check-in their luggage and obtain their boarding passes at the Airport Express Hong Kong and Kowloon Stations from 5.30am up to 90 minutes prior to their departure on the same day.

Wyn Li, Continental’s Country Director of Hong Kong, Macau, and Southern China, said, "It is a Continental Airlines mission to provide the best service for our passengers in Hong Kong. The daily service to New York and the In-Town Check-in service are part of our continued efforts and innovation to enable our passengers to enjoy greater convenience and the most hassle-free journey."

To celebrate the introduction of the New York daily service, new members joining OnePass will earn 5,000 bonus miles. Passengers traveling in BusinessFirst will earn a 50% class bonus and a bonus of 5,000 miles upon completing roundtrip travel.
