    We went last year and I had to get the freebie booked 300+ days before we went, and had to get a business class flight for the four of us (Manchester to Atlanta via Frankfurt; Denver to Manchester via Frankfurt).

    At least Continental is a Star Alliance partner, so you can use other partners. I collected with BMI for years (quickest way to get a gold card) but have cashed in to use with Lufthansa and United instead.
    Yeh. Could be a problem with dates. We usually go off peak (October/November and take DS out of school) which is bit easier.

    Continental is shortly going to be no more as well since they merged with United some time ago. In fact, all the points are going to be transferred to united as well.

      Ah... That explains the Continental plane with Continental tail and United written on the side I saw at Manchester over the weekend!

      If not too late for the hotel, look into the Hyatt at Grand Central train station. Excellent location as the subway is literally below your room, and loads of cool diners nearby for breakfast.

      Check out New York Party Tour which is a tour company, giving a really half day tour of NYC, great for getting your bearings and a really interesting tour to go on.

        Yep - they kept the Continental logo and the United name in the merger.

        Not many people were pleased with that decision - don't know what they wanted, but I remember reading about how upset they were.

          Are you into fitness? Stay at the Affinia in Manhatten on honeymoon a few years back. Advertised as a fitness type hotel, but it seemed like any other, however the gym and the sauna/swedish massage was very good though.

          I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
