TIPS for Winter & Spring Travel Planning.

1. Book Early. With colder weather, price to warm weather destinations will go up and the availability at the most popular resort destinations will become scarce. Once prevalent «fire sales» are almost non-​existent. Airlines have learned that fewer flights mean fuller flights and higher fares, so early booking is recommended.

2. Ask About Discounted Airfares. We offer wonderful discounted coach and business class airfare to many international destinations for our corporate and leisure clients if combined with minimum car rentals and/​or accommodations. Ask us how you can save on trips to Europe, Asia and other destinations.

3. Planning a Cruise? Whether it’s an oceangoing or popular river cruise, let us know your dreams. Exciting special offers coming in almost daily and many are short-​term and capacity-​controlled. If we know your wishes, we can let you know if a great special comes in that might be just what you’re seeking.

Meet the Business Owner

Heinrich K.

Business Owner

After several years with Pan American World Airways, in 1981 I purchased a private travel club, then called The Continental Club, which offered charter flights and tours to Europe. I immediately turned it into a full-​service travel agency, Continental Travel. Initially, most business was to Europe. Over the years we acquired great corporate accounts and begin developing a broad base of both corporate and leisure business. With more than 33 years in business, we choose to remain independent rather than selling to or merging with a large multi-​branch agency. This assures that we can focus on serving the needs of our customers rather than those of a large corporate entity. We take great pride in being one of the most successful and longest operating independent travel agencies in the Pacific Northwest. We provide a wide range of travel services at a great value with exemplary customer service to a loyal client base, mostly consisting of repeat customers and referrals.
