The economy has seen better days and gas prices are taking a bite out of our budgets. To make matters worse, airfare seems to be going up thanks to tighter regulations and increased fuel costs. That doesn't, however, mean that bargains can't be had. You just need to know where to look. That's where our airline reviews come in. The Star Reviews team looked into numerous airline websites. Continental Airlines was one of them. Here's what you need to know about what this company has to offer...

Our Favorite Feature:

We really liked Continental's package pricing search. Instead of searching for the different elements of our trip separately, we could click on the "Vacation" search tab to price an entire package including airfare, hotel and car rental for added savings.

The Continental Experience:

Continental's homepage is a bit busy, but it offers a wealth of resources and information. Sure, there's the standard links to the flight searches and other travel reservations, but the Continental homepage also offers links to company news, specials, promotions and other travel tools and resources.

In addition to booking flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises and vacation packages, Continental was one of the only airline websites that also lets customers book activities reservations. Want to go to a show or take a tour? This website can help you out.

The site's flight search was pretty standard. We just entered our criteria onto the homepage and seconds later were presented with our flight options. We were a bit disappointed to see that we couldn't find a return flight leaving at the time we wanted. We could either leave early morning, or nearly midnight. Our goal had been to leave between 8 and 9 pm.

That being said, the price was worth re-arranging our schedule. Continental came in at hundreds of dollars less than one of the competitors, and was second-cheapest (although our flights were not non-stop).

If you're looking for budget travel and don't mind a bit of inconvenience, Continental is definitely a site for you to see.

Pricing:

For our pricing comparison we searched each airline's website for airfare for 2 adults leaving November 11th from O'Hare in Chicago to LAX in Los Angeles, and returning November 12th. These are the quotes we received:
