Continental Airlines Credit Card Holders Get Break on Luggage Charges
October 28, 2008 By Justin McHenry
Continental Airlines announced today that fliers who use their Continental credit cards or debit cards to purchase tickets will get a break on the first-checked-bag charge of $15 that Continental recently implemented. Continental Presidential Plus cardholders will have the fee waived for their first two checked bags — a savings of $40 per trip.
The fee waiver also extends to those traveling with the cardholder, provided they are part of the same reservation and check in with the Continental credit card holder.
Continental said that over 1 million people hold a Continental credit or debit card. The airline added the $15 first-bag fee last month.
