The easiest way to access flight information on the airline's Web site is to select "Flight Status" at the bottom of the screen. Selecting "Today's Operation" in the upper right hand corner of the next screen opens a display of Continental's operational status, including possible flight delays and weather information provided by weather.com, the official Web site of The Weather Channel.

Customers may choose to be notified up to four times - at one, two, three and/or four hours prior to scheduled departure or arrival. The notification message will include the flight's estimated departure or arrival time and gate information (when available).
