Continental Airlines – award-winning service to the Americas
These worlds contains amazing contrasts: ancient civilisations lie alongside great modern metropolises, whilst arid deserts, steamy jungles, soaring mountains, great forests and arctic tundra all provide some of the most diverse and rich animal habitats on the planet. In high profile destinations like the Galapagos and the Inca Trail there are strict rules, which we abide by; in other areas such as Costa Rica, and the jungles of Peru we actively seek out lodges that run on eco-friendly lines and employ local people.
Continental Airlines offers non-stop flights to New York / Newark Liberty International Airport from seven UK airports: London Heathrow, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester. In addition, Continental offers a twice-daily service from Heathrow to Houston.
Connect conveniently to Continental’s vast Latin American network at New York and Houston which serve up to 29 destinations in Mexico, Liberia and San Jose in Costa Rica as well as Quito, Lima and more.
