march-of-dimes.gifThe March of Dimes Foundation is raising money by auctioning off a first-class travel package on Continental Airlines, with all proceeds benefiting the charity. The 10-day auction starts today on eBay.

The winner of the auction gets “round trip, first-class transportation, dinner for two with executives from Continental and Boeing, a night at the Renaissance in Seattle, a tour of the Boeing plant and two seats aboard the Ferry Flight of their newest 777. All proceeds from the winning bid will go directly to the March of Dimes Foundation.”

Mmm… that new plane smell…

    Only one problem, Continental doesn’t offer first class seating on their 777s (they are only 2-class).

  2. Mark Ashley says:

    Where’s the problem? United and American have 2-class planes flying domestically and both refer to the front of the plane as “first” class?

    Continental calls it “BusinessFirst,” which is a cop-out, sure, but I’m still not sure what your beef is.

    This offer (and price for that matter) seems more appropriate for company Exec’s to undertake (seeking goodwill and good P.R. come to mind) or for a philanthropist who wishes to brushes elbows with high level execs in tandem with providing for a good cause.

    The big question: do the flights earn miles?
