ST. GEORGE, Utah, August 11, 2004 – Continental Connection is proud to offer its Texarkana passengers enhanced technology, adding convenience and ease to the Continental travel experience. The Texarkana Regional Airport recently added Continental self check-in kiosks, known as eService Centers. The kiosk allows domestic eTicket customers to check-in, obtain boarding passes and receipts, view interactive seat map displays, verify OnePass numbers, check luggage (at designated ticket counter locations) and, for its Elite OnePass members, upgrade to first class, all without waiting in line.
