CONTINENTAL AIRLINES VACATIONS PUTS MEXICO ON SALE; Save up to $200 on packages to Cancun, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Maya

(PRLEAP.COM) FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – For a limited time, Continental Airlines Vacations is heating-up the traditional summer/fall “value season” for travel to Mexico by offering savings of up to $200 on select packages to Cancun, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Maya. Eligible bookings must be made by June 25 for travel between now and December 15, 2006. Savings are available as follows:

• Save up to $150 on five-day/four-night packages; request promo code COVMEX150
• Save up to $200 on packages of five nights or more; request promo code COVMEX200

Vacationers can choose from among 18 participating resorts representing some of the top hotel brands in Mexico, including Allegro, Iberostar, Occidental, and Palace Resorts.

In addition to providing travel agents with a nice consumer incentive to spur sales, Continental Airlines Vacations is also rewarding agents by paying up to 15% commission on all Mexico bookings in line with a 1-3% increase in commission rates on its entire product line for 2006.

Backed by Continental Airlines, the number one U.S. airline to Mexico with more flights to more destinations throughout Mexico than any other U.S. carrier, Continental Airlines Vacations offers one of the largest Mexico product lines in the vacation package industry. In 2005, four new destinations were added – Guadalajara, Merida, Mexico City and Oaxaca – bringing the operator’s total number of destinations throughout Mexico to 16.

Continental Airlines Vacations further bolstered its Mexico product recently with the launch of its new hurricane policy. Offering the ultimate flexibility to better safeguard consumer purchases of vacation packages to Mexico, the Caribbean and Florida during the 2006 summer/fall period, the hurricane policy enables customers to change their travel plans without penalty well in advance of a storm affecting their choice destination.

The hurricane policy goes into effect once a hurricane watch is issued by the National Hurricane Center. Typically, penalties and change fees are waived only when a hurricane is imminent, airports are closed and flights have been cancelled. With more time to reassess their travel plans, customers have ample opportunity to re-book their vacations to other destinations, while retaining their original dates of travel.

Continental Airlines Vacations offers the ultimate travel protection with its Vacation Protection Plan. An optional feature available for an additional fee on all Continental Airlines Vacations packages, the Vacation Protection Plan allows travelers to cancel travel plans up to the moment of departure for virtually any reason with the guarantee of a full refund of the package price, minus the cost of the Vacation Protection Plan.
