Continental flies from more U.K. airports to the U.S.A. than any other
airline offering connections to 170 destinations throughout the Americas via
Continental`s New York hub, Newark Liberty International Airport, Houston
and Cleveland. Continental currently offers the only services between
Gatwick and New York and between Manchester and Liberty International, as
well as the only services to the U.S.A. from both Birmingham and Glasgow.

new Air Train service between Liberty International and New York City`s Penn
Station, the only direct rail link between any New York-area airport and
Manhattan.
