Continental to end "free" upgrade to premium seats
Ok, folks. Beginning March 17, Continental will begin to charge for those coach seats they classify as "premium" seating, price depending on duration of flight, market and "other factors". So the issue of star alliance vs elite status flyers vying for these seats will soon become a non-issue. Perhaps soon, they will also charge an additional premium for these seats when they introduce a hot meal vs. the cold standard fare. Just more ways for the airline to milk as much revenue as possible from it's customers. Do I see pay toilets in the near future?
