booking on continental with points

[sarah]

Hi I have a question....  I'm trying to book a flight on continental from Newark to Las Vegas.
I thought it would be 25,000 coach and 50,000 or so business.  But Its not showing any super saver rates (not sure what that is) and they want 50,000 coach and 100,000 business.

The flight is not until October....!  Is that usually how continental works.... ?
Is there anyway to get the cheaper rate?

Thanks!

What are your dates?

October 10th to October 12th

There is availability on a stop flight outbound and a nonstop return.
Usually Continental opens up availability much closer to the date of travel.

I know there is some availability but they want 50,000 coach and 100,000 business!!
Do you think the rates will go down to closer to the travel date?
Thanks Dan!

When I say availability I mean for 25,000 round-trip.
I don't consider the higher rate "availability"

Should have figured that!

i just flew with continental miles and i noticed much more availability than there used to be now that you can book flights on united. If your not looking necessarily for co flights might be worth it to check.
