Cilia-Wheatley has been in the airline industry for almost 30 years and have worked as Sales Manager for Continental Airlines for a total of 6 years. I am responsible for marketing and promoting Continental Airlines in the Philadelphia territory in a radius of about 100 miles. My portfolio includes corporations such as Campbell Soup, Ace Insurance, Airgas, Hercules Corporation, Ametek Inc, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Saint-Gobain and many more other corporations.

With 282 destinations worldwide, Continental Airlines, along with Continental Express and Continental Connection, serves more international destinations than any other US carrier. Continental aircraft are in the air around-the-clock, around-the-world. Continental headquarter is Houston, TX while the other two hubs are Newark NJ and Cleveland, OH. Continental services all major cities in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, and Asia (China, Japan, India included).

In addition, Continental Airlines services three cities in Asia non-stop from Newark’s Liberty International Airport: Hong Kong, Beijing and Tokyo. Continental Airlines operates daily non stop flights with Boeing 777 both to Hong Kong and Beijing. Note that travelers from Philadelphia can reach Newark Airport by train using Amtrak from Philadelphia, 30th Street station. The train stops at Newark airport rail link where the traveler will transfer to the AirTrain to reach the terminals. Passengers earn CO miles for the train ride when traveling on code share segments.
