Continental Airlines Boeing 737 in Mexico

Continental Airlines is reporting that the H1N1 (or “Swine Flu”) devastated their flights between the US and Mexico for May 2009. Continental could see a 19% fall in revenue per available seat mile in May and a 13% decline in April.

The H1N1 media spree has seemed to cause a lot more than just awareness. The CDC removed the travel advisory to Mexico in mid-May.

My parents got quarantined on a flight cause a kid got sick and the airline had to be over cautious cause of this rediculously unnecessary pandemonium.
