Continental
Airlines and
Amtrak
joined forces in the nation's first domestic air/rail codeshare. Under
the agreement, Continental will place its code on Amtrak's Acela Regional
and Keystone trains for connections between Newark and Philadelphia, Wilmington,
and Stamford and New Haven. OnePass members will be able to earn miles
for some Amtrak trips between New York and either Boston or Washington.
The codeshare is scheduled to launch in mid-March. Newark International
Airport features a monorail connecting its rail and air terminals. (01/18/02)
