When I first call in to make my reservation, the rep does not knows how to find that flight to book it for me. Said she didn't see the sale, insist I should go online to book that because it probably is available online only. (even though, I repeatedly tried to explain to her that I have no power, don't want to be driving out there wasting gas, when getting gas is a problem, etc.... and that the radio said that I can call in to reserve it too.) Called in the following, another agent found the fare for me, but that it would cost me an extra $13.00 because she has to book it for me, and if I don't want to pay that, just go and book it online. Continental said that they are trying to help out the victim of the hurricane, but at the same time, finding every way they can to get a dollar here and there from you.
