I have flown alot, especially internationally, and everywhere that i have seen it says please arrive at the airport at least 2hours ahead of departure
I fly out of EWR newark all the time and have never had a trouble, there are signs to show you where you need to go
i dont normally fly any american airlines such as jetblue continental or any of them, ubless it is domestic
i usually fly on virgin atlanticm british airwaysm or singapore airlines and they all say 2hours minimum, and boarding closes 1hour prior and that past that it is your responsibility and they cant be held accountable, not the airlines fault since they have to keep schedule and policies, you need to give adaquet time and 1hour 30mins doesnt give much leadway and is cutting it too close
i know that singapore airlines even says 3 hours at least in singapore
everywhere i have been it says at least 2hours for international flights and i have been to alot of places and traveled alot since i used to live in singapore and it was common for international travel and since i moved here it has been the same way
i am sorry about your experince but you have to take some responsibility for it, dont wait till the last minute, and continental followed what they were trained to do, everything cant be treated personally it would take too long and there would be alot more complaints, they should have treated your bags in a better manner but its your responsibility for you to get to the airport and allow time, cant assume there will be no to little lines....not the airlines fault for you being late to check in and they cant hold a plane, and alot of the time you can check in online the night before and go to bag drop
sorry to hear you missed a day of vacation and lost that money, next time arrive earlier......especially since security reasons
